If we didn't know it, I wouldn't believe that we only met a little over a year ago.

I am so thankful for you.

How lucky did I get to have someone that makes it so worth it to come home to?

Little did I ever expect to meet my best friend while being at work. I will forever be grateful that they decided to hire you, because little did I know that you would soon become my best friend. I mean who else would join in on the crazy unusual things I do? Having to carry on life a short two hours away from you has been one of the hardest things I have had to do yet, and this summer won't be any easier.

You push me to be the best version of myself, which is more than any of my other friends have ever done. You don't make everything a contest, but rather celebrate when I accomplish something, and encourage me to do more. I am so glad that you are always willing to answer the phone when I call, because you are always one of the first people I call when I have a story to tell or some good news. Even when one of my phone calls mean I won't be coming home, you support me even when it is hard to.

As everyone around us knows, we are the dynamic duo. You make life so fun and I couldn't began to imagine life without you. When I need advice, you are the first I go to, because you somehow always know exactly what to say to help me overcome the situation. When days are hard and I don't think I can get through them, you always ensure me I will and sure enough I do. Without you keeping me in track and helping me make good decisions (or at least trying) who knows what kind of mess I would be in.

You have seen me at some of my lowest points and helped me celebrate my accomplishments. You help me remain humble, without you I would probably be more extra than I already am. There are no words to describe even close to what an amazing person you are. You are the most driven, caring, hardest working, and intelligent person I know. I can not even show how big of a heart you have, and that's why it is such a blessing to call you my best friend. I strive to be at least half of the person you are. You deserve the world and so much more.

When your heart breaks, so does mine. It absolutely kills me to see you in a sad state, because I know things will get better and you will come out an even better person. Each day you continue to help me grow, you have shaped me into a better person even though you don't know it. I will forever be grateful for our facetime calls even though we both get so busy sometimes, it's so ensuring knowing you are only a phone call away.

I know you'll always be there for me just like I'll always be here for you. You remind me everyday how lucky I am to live this life full of laughter.

Thank you for just simply being you
