Because no Facebook post or Instagram picture could ever sum up how much I love you and treasure your friendship....Not only today, but every single day. Happy Birthday, pals!!
And Scotty McCreery, the guy I was in love with as a 10 year old?
What about Bella Hadid?
....Yeah, me neither.
Sorry, Scotty.
But, I did know that today is a special (and scary day...I apologize in advance for my friends' driving, Tuscaloosa) day.
Today, October 9, 2016, is MY BESTIES BIRTHDAYYY (well, a few of them anyways)!!!
I cannot even begin to put into words how much these three mean to me. 
We've shared so many memories:
