Happy 19th, Charlotte!

Happy 19th Birthday Charlotte!! I have been slacking on my birthday blog posts but there is simply no way I could forget to do yours, especially since you've reminded me since the day that we met in October to make sure to do a blog post for you :)

Here are my top 10 reasons why Charlotte deserves a great 19th birthday:

1. She is the other part of the "min-me" series featuring me, Katherine and Ali

2. Charlotte has her own blog which inspires and challenges me every day. You can check out her blog and some of her story by clicking on this link.
3. She is the biggest diva, #2 behind Sassy, the head diva of course!
4. She is absolutely hilarious on SnapChat and therefore I am always forced to take a screenshot. So sorry BabyChar, but there is no possible way I could only look at these photos for 10 seconds or less:

5. Even though she knows I don't like it, Charlotte enjoys reading my blog posts out loud to everyone in the room when she knows I get so embarrassed. I suppose I forgive you Charlotte.

6. Charlotte loves a good FaceTime chat, nightly text, or calling me asking me to tuck her into her own bed. We fully embrace the Pledge Trainer & baby dolphin aspect that Tri Delta has to offer us and I wouldn't have it any other way.

7. The first time Charlotte and I had an encounter was when I was her Pledge Trainer and she claims that I was sassy when I told her she would have to wait until next week to get a booklet, that I had already put the others away in the closet. I refuse to believe I would ever be sassy, especially to a baby dolphin. This memory though does make for a good laugh, but I'll never believe you Char that I was snappy! 

8.One day Charlotte will be Olivia Pope living in Washington, D.C. and I will take the train to visit her on the weekends where we will only eat Georgetown Cupcakes

9. She's OCD which I admire since I have OCD tendencies with my closet :)

10. Charlotte has taught me so much about myself and others within this one year of us knowing each other. I am grateful that the Lord placed her in my life as a baby dolphin and that we instantly bonded after she got over her fear of me & thinking I was a mean New Member Educator, hah. I admire your boldness through your blog and you really are the best! Love you Char!

Time to celebrate the big 1-9!!

Happy 21st, Kendall!

9 reasons Kendall deserves a great 21st birthday:

1. We've ventured to Chicago for Lollapalooza and New Orleans for a weekend full of fun & food together

2. Kendall could easily be a Free People model

3. Fighting over Ali is completely normal -- new roomies vs. the old roomie

4. She's a sloth

5. Speaking of sloths, once Ali & I put her on Craigslist for needing a sloth babysitter and people blew up her phone

6. Kendall will live in New Orleans after we graduate and that's pretty cool itself

7.  We take on projects like painting new DDD bid day letters the night before we need them

8. She hates being cold and hates jeans. Seriously, she gets goosebumps which is why she lives by her heater

9. She LOVES hugs (and by love I mean you're lucky if she hugs you goodbye when we leave for long amounts of time)

Happy 21st Birthday Kendall!

I'm glad we were in Nashville to celebrate the Rebs win and the day of your birth.

You've made it 21 years, sloth, and I can't to celebrate more of your birthdays!!

Happy 21st, Ali!

15 reasons why Ali deserves a great birthday:
1. Ann Marie & I could not have picked a better person to adopt:

2. Ali loves South Depot even more than I do.. and that's a lot.

3. She has a standard poodle named Roxy. 

4. Ali prances around in a unicorn costume. Even though she bought it for Halloween, there's no excuse not to wear it year round.

Look closely and you'll see Ali underneath the unicorn costume

5. Somehow she finds time to do things like live stream puppies on her computer .

6. If you didn't know (I'm sure you all did), she loves Kansas City and the Jayhawks.. I've finally learned the difference between Kansas City, Missouri and the actual state of Kansas (see picture below)

7. Ali's special talent - her hair being in her collar doesn't bother her (see picture above)
8. She worked at Kate Spade and is pretty much a Kate Spade model.
9. Ali is going to be really successful one day because she is very talented in Adobe and makes cool projects of me like this:

10. When she was younger for her family Christmas card she took a photo with a dove named Bubblegum.

11. She put our friend Kendall on Craigslist for needing a sloth babysitter and it was genius.

12. Ali sometimes Clorox wipes her feet before getting in bed & if she has worn pants all day, she won't get under her covers without changing. OCD maybe?

13. She has a blog that you should absolutely check out! Click this link to take you there.

14. We threw the D together freshman year and it's like, did we really even know each other? Most likely not. I delta love you though

15. Ali is absolutely hilarious.

Happy Birthday Ali! I'm thankful for our Gilmore Girls marathons and To-Do lists that strictly consist of South Depot & getting our nails done.

Have the BEST birthday & hurry up and get to Nashville!

Happy Birthday, Hunter!

Ten reasons why Hunter deserves a great birthday:

1. Our paths crossed before we even knew who each other was. I attended her 13th birthday party at Rockettown in Nashville which was quite the production

2. Once I found out she was coming to Ole Miss she was my "rush crush"

3. Hunter had surgery and looked like this:

Please don't kill me 

4. We spent every weekend together last fall and even made up a theme song "Together, forever, and sisters and friends"

5. She is Ann Marie and I's baby

6. We do fun things like go to Las Vegas in January to see Celine Dion

7. Hunter is a coffee addict just like me

8. Breakfast at The Perch or dinner at Peter's Sushi is always a good idea and somehow it's the only way we see each other over breaks

9. We watched Alabama in the National Championship together this year, along with a few other cool people I guess ;)

10. Remember when I went to go get pizza at The Ridge and Ann Marie & I look up and you were there too? The three of us have had way too many funny times together

Happy 20th Birthday Hunter!

I'm so thankful for you and you've been such a great friend this past year & a half. 

I loved our sleepovers in Crosby 311, the trip to Vegas and most importantly, Bid Day!

Let's celebrate when we get back to Nashville! Love you little nugget!

Happy Birthday Morgan!

Ten reasons why Morgan deserves a great birthday:

1. I don't know if I would be at Ole Miss if it weren't for her. When I came to visit her in the fall of my senior year, who would have thought that this would be where I ended up?

2. She was Ms. CHS, talk about a high school hero

3. Morgan had a pet hedgehog named Henry

4. We were cheered together, based together, were captains together, rode together to practice, were bus buddies on our way to camp, and more. How could I ever forget the car ride with us & Rita that was eight hours and you made us play games the whole way there?

5. She's a really neat eater and has the table manners of a princess
6. Sometimes we find random barns and decide to have a little photo shoot.. We'll do anything for the Instagram #nofilter

7. She's Vice President of The University of Mississippi, pretty casual, right?

8. Franklin would be nothing with out you. Especially during winter break and the summer. Not sure whose house I would go over to & watch YouTube videos and go to Sonic with?

9. She's super talented on the piano and most nights at home I just find new songs for her to play. Her specialty is Vanessa Carlton.

10. May Crosby 251 always be home to both of us

Happy Birthday Morgan! May your day be filled with Taylor Swift singing "22" to you! 

Thankful to know you and call you my friend. I can't wait to celebrate tonight!

Happy 21st, Betsy Kate!

10 reasons why Betsy Kate deserves a great birthday:

1. She loves Jesus and wears Jesus band-aids

2. Her love for Harry Potter. She has a ring that has Harry's glasses & his scar on it, a Harry Potter mug she drinks out of, a Harry Potter t shirt she sleeps in, and that's just the beginning. Last year for her 20th birthday we threw her a Harry Potter themed party at midnight, Gryffindor scarf & acceptance letter to Hogwarts included.

3. BK is a squirrel girl. We don't know how the initiation happened, but one day she became one of us.

4. She has a Stitch stuffed animal from Disney that she sleeps with every night, and she can also do Stitch's voice. Lilo & Stitch 2, I'd like to nominate Betsy for the voice of Stitch.

5. When in doubt, South Depot quesadilla, chips & queso please.

6. She's danced in the Macy's Day Thanksgiving Parade as JA junior high cheer captain. How much more coolness can I type in one sentence? Go raiders! (glitter on the outside of eyes obviously applied) She was also Miss JA, no big deal.

7. Betsy Kate is always feeling "sexy & free" or being Justin Timberlake's boo

8. Because of videos like this, she deserves a great birthday:

I bet you didn't know I saved this, did you?

9. The options for her nicknames are never ending: Betsy, BK, BK Nasty, Betty, Bresty (hello DDD dolphin on door freshman year) + more.

10. She is one of the greatest people I know. Everyone loves being surrounded by her and she has such an influence on everyone she meets. Although she doesn't find practical jokes funny, like stealing her towel while she is in the shower, it is always a good time when Betsy Kate is there.

I am so thankful for you every day Betsy Kate! I am sad for us & Rebecca to end our reign as pledge trainers, but I absolutely cannot wait to be the Vice President to your President.
You're the best! Love you long time!

Now, let's celebrate and get down tonight at formal!

Happy 21st! You deserve it!

Happy 21st Birthday, Kendal!

Ten reasons why Kendal deserves a great 21st birthday:

1. I really could start and finish the list right here with this one photo because it says enough:

2. Kendal has a heart to love and serve others. She is always there for her friends and has a heart for the Lord. She has influenced me in so many ways and I am so thankful to call her friend.

3. She deserves a great birthday because her mom sadly forgot to give her two L's in her name.. just kidding Kendal_

4. Her school's mascot was a Honeybear.....

5. One of my highlights of spring semester was driving to Passion with Kendal. Although we almost turned around 100 times and thought we were going to join a cult (or something along those lines) we made it through together. And the best part is that we didn't join a cult, we just became closer friends!

6. Speaking of closer friends, Kendal and I are close friends. Even though some people (Bailey, I'm talking about you) thought we weren't and told us every day "You two really should be friends, y'all would get along great." We knew our friendship was real.

7. Kendal is going to be a teacher one day. How cute?! Sorry I ditched you and switched my major, but you are going to be such a great teacher and influence so many little nuggets lives. 

8. Because this was her profile picture:

9. She's the best roomie in foreign cities - Atlanta, New York, where shall we go next??

10. I am most thankful for Kendal because of her sweet friendship and words of encouragement. She deserves the best birthday because she treats her friends like they're the best. 

I think the world of you and can't wait to celebrate you on this day!

Happy 21st Kendal, you deserve it!
