Bri

     There are certain people that come into our lives, whose friendship transcends across time and space.  This type of friendship is the kind where physically being together doesn't matter; when we're reunited it's as if no time has passed at all.  Brianna, Danielle and I are like that.  No matter how much time has passed, no where we are scattered in the world, we always come back together and it's as if nothing has changed.
     The pictures below are almost four years old and they don't do either of my beautiful friends justice.  We love Channing Tatum and Nicholas Sparks (both the books and the movies).  We're sarcastic and we do stupid things, like drive aimlessly for hours just talking about random things.  I love them like sisters; I know I can count on them for anything any time, day or night (Danielle before 10pm and both of them after 11am, haha).

     I've only known Bri for about seven years, but it's as if we have always known each other.  Brianna is the type of person who doesn't judge, but she also doesn't sugar-coat things; she's honest and real.  She loves coffee and history; she always fights for the underdog.  She's laidback and chill, a far cry from my own chaotic, overdramatic personality.  She's constantly wrangling me and getting me to stop running around like a headless chicken.  She's the person I go to when I need to hear, "Erin, take a breath and chill.  One step at a time."  She gives the best advice, no matter what type of drama I get myself into. I'd literally fall apart without her; I don't know how she does what she does but I always feel better after a few texts from her.

    She's a beautiful soul. She reminds me every day how fortunate I am to be here on this earth and to be loved by the incredible people I have chosen to surround myself with.  She inspires me every day to be strong, to be a better person, to be all I can be.  I am so lucky to call her a friend.

Happy Birthday, Bri. ♥
