Elizabeth love

Today is my incredible friend Elizabeth's nineteenth birthday. Last night Allie, Janelle, and I went over to surprise her at her house and steal her away for the night for a blessed sleepover and celebration. 

It is always my honor to celebrate the beautiful people in my life, but when Elizabeth blew out her birthday candles and gave a beautiful speech about how thankful she was for us, and our friendship, those are the moments I really live for. There was so much good, pure love in that room, as there always is with these girls. 

They teach me the importance of choosing kindness above all else. If you truly love someone, you'll do your best to do what's best for them, and what's best for you, no matter how much it hurts.

Happy birthday my darling Elizabeth. I am thankful for you every single day.

love, Marilyn
