today is the love of my life, grace stephenson's birthday. 21 years old and ready to take on the world. here are 5 things/memories that i love about this woman:
1. the first summer that we lived together, we developed an acute addiction to ben and jerry's ice cream. we each averaged an individual pint about every 4-5 days. once, grace got the coffee health bar crunch flavor as a guilty pleasure, not realizing that it had actual coffee in it, not just artificial flavoring. i watched the internal struggle take place as she wavered between keeping it ("it's just ice cream!") and throwing it away ("the word of wisdom...?"). after taking one last spoonful, she mournfully dumped the pint. i'm pretty sure we immediately went to the grocery store to get a replacement. that was also the summer where we once thought there was someone jumping up and down on our roof--it turned out to be our tap-dancing roommate.
2. she can do really weird things with her body. i've never seen a more legitimate pregnant belly on a non-pregnant person. also, and i hope she'll forgive me for posting this on the internet because i'm legitimately impressed and awed about this, i have never met a human being that can belch louder than grace. and so out of nowhere. it's incredible the sounds that can come out of her.
3. she's just so smart. she'll pull things out of nowhere and i'm like...how did you know that? are you wikipedia?
4. one time she went on a date with 7 boys at once. and they were aaaallll in love with her. what a fox. she will most undoubtedly protest this one, but i will not retract it. my main point is that she is absolutely loveable--charming and witty, how could you not?
5. grace is just easy to be around. i never feel like i have to impress her, or be someone i'm not. whether it be sitting in her bed watching gossip girl for 5 hours straight, or roadtripping to vegas, she is someone i can just be myself around.
she introduced me to men's white v-neck hanes shirts (never going back), sonic happy hour, and how to say "your mother is dirty" in german. i'll love this girl till the day i die. and then some. happy birthday ma bichette.

ammmmyyyyyy this just made my whole life. thanks dear.
and yes, i do protest the 7-boy date: katherine was definitely there. 2:7 is not "planned, paired off and paid for."
and remember our dr. pepper summer + caffeine addiction? those were the days...
I may or may have not just stayed up 'till an unreasonable hour scouring your blogo to look at your incredible cartoons. Amy, why did you not tell me of this art of yours???
Thanks a lot for stealing my sleep by the way!

Hahahah, I was only there because you realized at the last minute that it was going to be you and 7 boys all fighting for you! I love that super date. And I love Grace too!
