My Shea.

My Shea.

Most Mondays are the pits. But not this Monday... this Monday is incredibly special because it is one of my best friend's birthdays. Her name is Shea and she is probably exactly what you are imagining. She has shining, long blond hair, eyes as blue as the ocean, and a heart made of gold. She is truly as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside.  She is someone who never asks for anything, but gives everything she has. She is hard working and dedicated. She is HILARIOUS with the best belly laugh I've ever heard. She gives Beyoncé competition with her sweet dance moves and booty bumps. She loves hard and lives well. I am so lucky to have her in my life.

We have gone to school together since 1st grade, but never were close until college... thanks to another true blessing in my life I call Leanne. Leanne and I went to visit Shea at school one random weekend in October and the rest is history. That weekend she opened up her home to me. I think we actually laughed the entire weekend... much like we do now-5 years later. Shea is someone that I would truly go to with my worst mistake because I know she would cry with me, hug me, and help me fix whatever I messed up. Shea is someone that I would call within moments of accomplishing a goal because I know she would celebrate with me and give me all the applause in the world. Shea is someone that I would leave my cat with for the weekend because I know she would give her as much love as I would. Shea is someone that wants to see her friends happy, loved, and fulfilled just as much as she wants those things for herself.

Today and everyday I am grateful for you.Shea is many, many wonderful things, but my favorite thing about her is that she is in my life. Shea, I am so very, very grateful for you- thank you for always supporting me, loving me, hugging me, dancing with me, making me laugh until I can't breathe, holding my hand while I dance with boys, sharing snack circles with me, letting me complain to you about my shitty days, caring about my family, and never giving up on me. Happy Birthday, Sheazy! I love you! #40daysofagratefulheart
