Today is national best friend day. I think national days are dumb, but i think friends are great. 

I would like to pay tribute to my fave girl. My Anne Perkins, my Melissa McCarthy.  Because she's a cool girl who does a lot of amazing things for other people without ever needing to be noticed for it. 

She loves Jesus and her family something fierce.  She so funny and so sassy and so kindhearted it makes me both weepy and jealous. 

Kinda hit the jackpot with this one. I've learned so much about myself, and hard work and cooking and marriage and parenting and life from this firecracker.  I'm so, so, so thankful. 

She kept me alive, and employed and sat through hours and hours of me weeping and saying the same thing over and over and over again because my heart was super broken...and i kept throwing the pieces around and she kept picking them back up and giving them to me. 

She is a straight up boss in the kitchen and in the world. We're so lucky to have her. 

I just thank Jesus for her a lot because what a gift.
