Mere is 21!!

Ten reasons why Meredith 
deserves a great birthday:

1. She loves Gossip Girl as much as I do. She dreams it and lives it just like me. We are going to be Blair + Serena one day. We will live it together in New York and eat bagels on the steps of the Met. 

2. Meredith is a Belmont beauty. We nicknamed her this in high school because duh, she's beautiful, and she is like the epitome of the All-American girl. She has even had Belmont Twitter accounts tweet about her and their crush on her.

3. No one was weirder in high school than us. Whether we were sticking our heads out of a sunroof together or cooking in Food & Nutrition class, the two of us will do anything.

That time you had to wear Mrs. Heep's shoes because 
you weren't wearing closed-toed shoes

4. To this day Meredith will still call me Jabba.. If you didn't know me in high school this probably isn't relevant to you because I have tried to put the Jabba days behind me. Charlotte, aka Meredith, is always there to remind me.

5. Meredith is a Maxxinista and a Target shopper. Her wardrobe is so fabulous, but she can always find a bargain.
6. Meredith is great at cutting her own hair... Once before senior prom, she had these little baby hairs that were sticking up, so she simply cut them off. It looked great at first, until it started to grow back. The baby hairs stood straight up right in the middle of her head. Let's not ever venture to cosmetology school.

7. Junior and senior year, Meredith, Becca, Anna and I all went on Spring Break together in South Carolina. No one made us laugh like Meredith did! The trips were perfect with the four of us. Before college ends, we have to go back to Edisto!

8. Meredith is really good at cooking. Once in Food & Nutrition class, the recipe read: One square inch of butter. No words can describe what Meredith cut off, so here is the photo of us reenacting it:

9. Meredith is always down to be spontaneous. Once, we were hiking around Radnor Lake and we realized that night was the CMT Music Awards in Nashville. I opened StubHub up on my iPhone and next thing you know Meredith, Becca, Anna and I abandoned hiking, headed back home and went to the awards. Nothing like buying your tickets in the wilderness!

10. What's weird is that Meredith and I went to school together in middle school and all through high school, but it wasn't until junior year of high school that we really became great friends. I am forever thankful for the beach trip the four of us took to Anna's beach house that Spring Break because it truly made us the friends we are today. Meredith is such a special friend and I am so thankful for her kind heart and friendship! I can't wait to see what the next two years bring us and if we really do end up living in the Big Apple one day!

Happy 21st Birthday, Meredith!
