Happy Birthday to My BestSisterFriend

Happy 22nd Birthday Ali, my bestsisterfriend! 

I would like to dedicate today's post to the birthday girl.
*Disclaimer: this post is mostly pictures with some random sentences thrown in. 

Ali is my best friend and like a sister to me. 

She's an amazing hair stylist, a crazy dog lady, and has worked hard to get to where she is today. 

She has lost over 60 pounds in the past 2 years and just started her own blog, so you should go say hello and wish her a happy birthday. 

Crazy dog lady...she took at least 20 pictures of him in that same position#notjudging

Here are just a few of the MANY reasons why she's my best friend and why I love her.
We've been through a lot together. Ali and I have known each other since elementary school, but we didn't get super close until sixth grade.

6th grade AWKWARD stage

I can tell her anything and I know she won't judge me. 
We seriously know everything about each other.

2009 - senior year spring break in Myrtle Beach 

We are so weird when we're together...it's great. We even talk to each other in weird accents.

When we give each other a certain look we automatically know what the other person is thinking.

We laugh so hard over some of the most stupid things that most people probably wouldn't find funny.
We've spent the last 11 years celebrating our birthdays with each other and I wouldn't want it any other way. 
Here are a few gems from Ali's 16th birthday:

Obviously taking pictures with stuff at Walmart was the "cool" thing to do

Ali and I just get each other! 
She's the mac to my cheese. 
My partner in crime.
We're two peas in a pod. 

My 21st

I'm so lucky to call her my best friend.

I wouldn't trade our friendship for anything. 
I can't wait to celebrate many more birthdays with her. 

Happy birthday again pretty lady! 

I can't wait to celebrate tonight.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. 

I know I will!

So What Wednesday

 

Today I'm linking up with Shannon for "So What Wednesday" 

So what if......

• I enjoy all of the holiday decorations being up at work....they make me happy and get me in the holiday spirit. 
• I ate a cranberry bliss bar today...it was delicious.
• I'm sort of obsessed with The Biggest Loser right now. I've only seen a few random episodes throughout the years. Over the weekend I watched the first four episodes of season 15 and I will be watching the fifth episode tonight. 
• I check the website everyday to see if the price of this beauty has gone down. I want it in a very bad way.

• I burned my tongue so0000 bad this morning because I was impatient and drank my tea while it was still scalding hot, stupid silly me.
• I have a love/hate relationship with my work schedule. I love getting out of work before 2:00 on most days, but getting up before 5:00 is horrible. 
• I just want to fast forward to Friday. It's my roommate/best friend's birthday and we are having a girls night in at our house. I also have the whole weekend off from work...woohoo!

Happy Wednesday! We're halfway through the week :) 

Seven Years

Today marks seven years with my boyfriend, Aaron.

He is my everything. My best friend. 

I'm so lucky to have him in my life.

I will share our story sometime soon. 

I unfortunately didn't get to see him today because we live an hour away from each other. 

SCRATCH THAT ^^^^^ He just showed up at my house unannounced at 9 pm after working all day. 

I seriously wasn't expecting that at all.

I'm so excited!

Over the weekend we went out to dinner with another couple and we had a great time. 

We both had a couple of these AWESOME margaritas.

I was going to make this post longer, but since Aaron is here now I'm going to cut it short.

I'll leave you with a couple of pictures from our high school days together. 

I'll be back tomorrow with a post about the FIT4CHRISTMAS challenge and my goals for it.
