Harmony and me...we're pretty good company

Two days ago was the birthday of my housemate, Becky Niemi, and yesterday was the birthday of Arielle, my "longest" friendship. I love birthdays because they're so personal and they always remind me of how blessed I am to know that person. And also how blessed I am to have real friends – ones who I love so much that it takes the focus off myself for periods of times. (It's liberating.)

So I'm making a list to celebrate Beckalicious...

Reasons I love Rebekah Niemi:
-she's hot (figured I'd start with the shallow)
-she tells me when I'm being ridiculous
-but she tells me nicely
-she shares my love/obsession with food
-she is so incredibly sensible
-but she doesn't rub it in (most of the time:))
-she used to take time out of a very, extremely, regimented schedule to have random unscheduled talks with me
-she is open to change
-her eyes are brown and black and they match
-she has pretty hair
-she doesn't let me drive her crazy
-or when i do, she handles it well
-she is a musical, artistic, insightful, smart, talented, but not too perfect person who talks to herself and loves Jesus and cooking and tall boys

and a million other reasons that I should probably tell her in person.
