Happy Birthday Shelly!!!!

In case you couldn’t tell by the title of this post, today is Shelly’s birthday!

I thought it would be fitting to take this time out to wish Shelly a very very VERY happy birthday.

So, Shelly. My beautiful, kind, sweet, hilarious, brilliant, and unbelievably amazing best friend. I have never been so grateful for a DM in my entire life. You came to my rescue when I needed a coblogger. And when I needed a friend you didn’t hesitate to raise your hand…even though it means you are now permanently stuck with my crazy texts, rambly emails, and annual visits. You’ve become family to me. To my daughter. Even my mom and sister ask about you! There isn’t a single day that goes by that I’m not thankful for having you in my life in the many roles you play.

I’ve had the pleasure of terrorizing this world for 26 years and in all honesty I can’t imagine the next 26 without you. I love you to Pluto (THE PLANET DAMMIT!) and back, a thousand times over and I just want you to know how much you and your entire family have come to mean to me. So Shelly, Karen, have  a wonderful birthday. Enjoy this day and all the fun that will come your way. Be fearless and have fun today! In other words….

And yes I had to add that last gif because if I didn’t I wouldn’t be me and if I wasn’t me you wouldn’t love me and if you didn’t love me then the world would fall into chaos and birds would rule us all!!
