i've got this friend.

I've got this friend who is turning 24 today. You see, it's her birthday. On this day, 24 years ago she was extradited from her mother's womb and the world was forever better.

I've got this friend who challenges me, makes me laugh and calls me on a semi-regular basis to tell me about some man she just saw at Target with a shirt on that says, "My Body is a Wonderland." You see, she's just a really great friend.

I've got this friend who understands that it's ok to laugh at people as long as you feel bad about it later. You see, she's a living example of the Gospel.

I've got this friend who is so loyal she makes me look like Benedict Arnold. You see, she's just a great person to have involved in my life.

I've got this friend who is awesome. And you see now why I'm so glad she was born.

Happy Birthday, Brittany Diane Althea LeAnne Rebecca Mayes.

Happy Birthday.
