today is my best friend's 24th birthday. that's a good excuse to brag on her, isn't it? [not that i really need an excuse. but still.]melissa is such an awesome friend. she's super hilarious [and thinks i'm funny, too]. she has a killer smile ["you can't improve perfection"...]. she works hard. she loves people. she likes entertaining. she has a really cute style. she enjoys artsy things & home-cooked meals.
but none of those things are the reason she's my bestest. the reason she's my bestest is because she loves me for me.she lets me be my grouchy, rude, impatient, selfish self. and she challenges me to not be any of those things.
but still she loves me. she knows my heart. she can read my mind [sometimes this quality gets us into trouble in social settings...] and she understands me. even though we're basically opposites, still she understands. and still she likes me. and still she loves me.
i think that's amazing*
[p.s. can you believe that when i posted yesterday, i spelled my own best friend's last name wrong?! it's fixed now!]
