meet mallory.

mallory is so great. seriously. 

...and today is her birthday. 

she has been mentioned on this blog before & will be again because she's one of my best friends. we went to UCA together & were pretty instant friends after i got over my intimidation of her. 

one funny, random thing about me is that my 5 best friends all intimidated me before our friendship was fostered. maybe that's because those 5 girls are really legit and amazing or maybe its just because i get intimidated easily. i guess it's one for the ages. 

but no matter the level of intimidation then, today i could not be more grateful for those girls.

mallory, i am so thankful you were born. 

you are...

precious. 

a servant. 

genuine. 

hilarious. 

adventurous. 

patient. 

intelligent. 

ridiculous at times. 

a dancing queen & someone's african queen. 

sincere. 

thoughtful. 

gracious. 

mallory, thank you for being my friend & one of my favorite people in the world. you are the best.
