Happy Birthday, Elycia!

Today is my dear friend Elycia's birthday! If I had my passport I would have plotted to go up to Canada and surprise her but since Kevin and I are forever putting off getting our passports (we'll get them soon, I swear!) I guess a blog post will have to do!

Elycia and I met in person for the first time around a year ago. It's been an awesome year and it's been an absolutely, amazing experience to make such fast friends with someone. We have so much in common! I feel very lucky to have met her, that definitely has to be one of the best things that's come out of blogging for me.

 As someone who doesn't really have that many real life (human) friends I especially cherish our time together. We can have fun doing just about anything together. Camping, thrifting, painting our nails, taking outfit pictures, going out to eat, playing video games, making vlogs, dancing like fools, watching questionable videos on the internet, making fun of each other's accents, the list just goes on and on. Elycia is a blast to hang with!

 (I like how Ivan is the only person properly dressed for the ridiculously cold weather we were having that day)

Every time we post photos together and someone comments about what cute best friends we make I secretly get little butterflies in my stomach because we haven't officially claimed the title "best friends" but I hope that someday we will because I certainly consider her my best friend (and would really really really love to wear tacky best friend jewelry with her.)

After many failed friendships I was starting to feel a little jaded in the friend department and tried not to get too attached to anyone. But in this last year I feel like (uh, I'm fanning my eyes right now trying to not mess up my make-up while typing!) I've finally found a forever friend who I can rely on. Elycia has been there when I needed to rant, when I needed help with projects and has been there just to help make my day a little brighter. I hope I can do the same for her.

I hope you have an absolutely fabulous birthday, Elycia. I hope Ivan and the kitties spoil you rotten and give you everything you could ever ask for. And I sincerely hope I didn't weird you out too much writing this blog post that basically turned into a crazy, love letter-esqe creepfest. But hey girl, you is my friend and I can't wait to see you next weekend! We are going to have so much fun shaking our butts and making vlogs (uh, not at the same time, or at least not that anyone else will see!)

You guys should all go wish Elycia a very Happy Birthday on her blog!
xoxo
