Happy birthday, Trophy Life!!

Today is a very special day.

Today, my friend M (aka Trophy Life) celebrates her very most marvelous birthday.

Let me tell you a little something about M. She is really, really funny. :) I first met her when I was a sophomore in college, and she was a visiting high school senior who slept in my loft bed. Even though she was a little high school student who was TOTALLY cramping my obviously cool college self (...), right away that girl made me laugh.

She still makes me laugh. A lot.

But she also amazes me daily. She's one of the strongest, hardest-working, fiercely loyal and caring people I've ever met. The girl is dedicated and has one of the most amazing attitudes I've ever encountered. It's been a tough year, and you know? She has come through it stronger than ever. Still hard-working and loyal and caring and compassionate, and still AMAZING.

Still gorgeous. Still smiling. Still making everyone around her laugh.

M, I cannot wait to see what the next year brings for you. It's going to be simply wonderful, I just know it. I feel incredibly privileged to call you my friend, and I hope today is fabulous.

I love you to pieces. :) Happy birthday!
