us

i cant focus

i cant think straight 

ericas plane just landed in DTW

only a matter of hours before we are all together 

i am trying to not get too sappy about it but i am really happy

i have plans planned and camera is ready & loaded with blank film & empty memory cards

i love you

each & every one of you
this is proof:

Rula: you're first since we are here because of you, your wedding is in 4 days (!!!) i love how when you come over you immediately make sure my mom and dad know you say hello. i love that you can laugh at your self. {and me too! we both have some laughable experiences} i love that you appreciate my mixes i make you, no matter how weird or sad they may be. i love that you worry, i love that you over think & i love that you are a wonderful friend to everyone who knows you. you are the most welcoming person i have ever known. thank you for never making me worry if you love me, and for being there for me no matter what is going on in your day even if it is more important. 

Alexa: well you are simply beautiful. you're that friend that knows not only when i do something, but why i do something. you know i have a reason for everything and you encourage me to be happy. you inspire me {most photographed friend} in ways ive never expected. we both equally hate and love change {i.e. hair, moving, life changes, cell phones, purses, ect.} i have always appreciated how we can get together and just listen to taylor swift and rent 3 movies and only watch half of one because we are too busy talking. or sometimes not talking. i love you for making me chill out {and just dance} when i need to. thank you for always having my back, and know i will always have yours. 

Erica: little mrs. florida. i first would like to state how much i miss you coming over my house and going to the cupboards and fridge and coming up to my room with a bowl of random pieces of candy, ice cream, cheez-its and whipped cream. i miss you coming a few minutes late because you lost track of time. i miss hearing your little voice and seeing your little self when ever i want. but i love that you are happier than i have ever known you {even if it is in florida!} i am happy that i have a cozy place to visit when i want and i am happy that no matter how far away we are, we will always be there to listen and talk, but mainly talk ;) thank you for knowing how i feel, with everything.

Martha: i love that i know what to expect with you, probably because we are really so much alike. i love that i know that i will always have you to count on to be punctual and even early. {i like this too much myself} i love when you laugh so hard you cry, or when you say something that is the 'quote of the night' and you dont even understand why. i love knowing what you like on your pizza no matter what. i love that you want us to speak louder when we are in a car driving somewhere. but i mostly love that you are incredibly dependable. i can always count on you to be there and willing to help in any way you can. thank you for being martha, no matter what. 

i love you girls so much and i hope that you never forget about that one time we were in some strange mans porch waiting for the storm to pass... and i hope we find room for the bread! 


{ill have photos to share after today

p.s. a big thanks to my mom who let me tear apart her living room to set up and for making chicken salad sandwiches for tonight and for being the best host i know!
