HAPPY BiRTHDAY CHELSEA

Here’s to another year of Chelsea! She’s an amazing friend whom I just think the world of. She’s super talented, super funny, an amazing mom to the cutest girl ever and one of the strongest people I know.

♥ ♥ ♥

She’s the kind of person that will forgive you for accidently taking her car keys home even when she spent many hours searching at work to find them. (I still don’t know why your keys were in my pocket… I think I was framed.)

She’s the kind of friend that will show up at your apt with a flower almost as soon as you’ve hung up the phone with her after a complete freak out moment. (Do you remember this? When I lived at Crestwood… I don’t remember why I was freaking out but I remember the flower!)

She’s the kind of person who will take you to get your Patriarchal blessing so you won’t have to go alone and will wait in the car the whole time like it’s no big deal.

She’s the kind of person who will not clobber you with a cookie tray when you are obsessing over making cookies for a boy… even when you take to standing on a chair to keep the precious cookie dough out of her hands.

She’s the kind of person who can quote Jack Handey like nobody’s business.

She’s the kind of person who can still crack you up even when she’s not feeling so hot by letting you push her around in a shopping cart with a bucket over her head.

She’s the kind of person who has amazingly great taste in everything!

She’s the kind of person who will come spend the day with you after you’ve been in a car accident, even with her newborn baby.

She’s the kind of person who will make a pumpkin snot pie.

She’s the kind of person who sends the funniest cards and letters.

She’s the kind of person who will still be friends with you even if you do move every year.

She’s the kind of person who was an answer to a prayer when I first moved to Utah and needed a friend who was good and kind and fun and an example of the kind of person I wanted to be. I couldn’t have asked for better!

To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
