I have the best friends this world has to offer. I would just like to clarify, if any of you were confused. I know, this could be some earth shattering news to most of you, but I just feel the need to tell let everyone know that I have the best best friends. My best girl friend's name is Brittany.

| This pretty much sums her up in every way. |
She enjoys long walks on the beach, colouring, comic books, playing with toys on the floor in dollarama, forcing shwarmas down my throat, hawaiian pizza and helping me get on track with my scripture reading. Some of her dislikes include bad drivers, stingy subway workers (extra black olives are a must... on EVERYTHING), bacon pizza and people who WREAK of weed at concerts.

| We will often just go somewhere for the sole purpose of taking pictures together. |
We met at church when she moved to Toronto from Barrie. When we first met, we both thought each other were super weird and we both didn't want to be friends with each other. Then, Princess Brittany was forced to go to Young Women's Camp that year and everything changed. We were in the same tent together and I had her as a secret sister. Did I mention that she went home early because she was sick and hates Young Women's Camp? I tried to convince her to stay but she's about as stubborn as I am. And that was when I first got to know my now-BFF.
After that we started sitting together in Young Women's and our dad's got called to serve in the bishopric together. I can definitely say that we became inseparable. The other members of our church would comment on our habitual walks around the chapel before class. "Going for another lap?" We would smile and laugh at them as we walked by.
Our first road trip together was to EFY in Michigan, her dad was driving and we sat in the back and watched Love Comes Softly (BEST. MOVIES. EVER.) I cried and she almost did. We stayed in a Radisson that night - just us! It was so much fun. We did everything you do at a hotel: jump on the beds, go up and down the elevators for no reason, sleep and order room service for breakfast. I had never ordered room service before. So Brittany lied in bed and watched me order it on the phone with my signature "stupid grin" on. It was awesome, and delicious! Then we went to EFY for a week of spiritual nourishment and fun. My dad picked us up in Michigan and we drove home in the car. Needless to say, it was a tight fit with all of Princess Brittany's luggage, mine and my dad's camping gear.

| This is so embarrassing... |

| 4 years ago, happy to be out of the back seat! |
Since then, we've gone on many adventures together. Whether it's a quick trip to downtown Toronto or all the way to London and back to visit some friends. If it's with Brittany there's always laughter and good music.

The reason I wanted to write this entry is because we hung out yesterday and I had so much fun just going to Dollarama, getting kicked out and reading scriptures that I came to the realization that I have the best best friend in the world. Unfortunately, I couldn't even try to attempt to write down all of our funny stories.
Now through the years, we've developed a friendship that is more like an old married couple. I have in-laws. I spend Christmas with their family instead of my own, I have to spend time with her siblings and her parents make fun of me all the time. But honestly, I love my in-laws. Jim drove me to church on Sunday and we just talked all the way there and I realized that I have a family in them. Spending Christmas with them last year was not awkward, but actually very refreshing. We also do one of those cute couple things - we always say I love you when we're hanging up the phone. I don't know how this started, but we just do it and I think it's cute.

| CLASSIC. |
Being an old married couple also includes fights, disagreements and constant bickering, but no matter what happens, we know we can call each other when we're upset and/or crying. The other person knows that it's their job to provide comforting words. And if the words don't work, food always does.
She's not always the friend I want, but she's always the friend I need. It's amazing to have such a great friend who is so supportive and fun to be with. It's amazing what a bad week at Young Women's Camp can do for your life.

| We took this in Dollarama... and got kicked out for it. |
I am lucky enough to have two best friends, the other is Daniel, my best guy friend. But I will write about him another day!
