9/12 hbd to my bestest friend in the entire world

happy birthday Maxx! 

(idk why i like to carry you so much...i think it's because i like to assert my dominance in a fake-ly affectionate way hehe) 

(one of my fave pics of us of all time)

(but wow you're twenty-one and gross now!! jk you've always been gross but now you're really gross. jk i love you a lot and you're not gross at all. promise.)

Maxx, you are one of the sweetest, smartest, and stylish people i know. actually maybe not the latter, but hey! that can be worked on. but seriously. you're really nice to people even though you think you're not. you try so hard to be genuine in your dealings with people, and that's all that matters. you're so super smart, and i'm sorry for always belittling that. you are going so so so so fricking far, Maxx. don't let anyone hold you down. follow your heart and dreams!! Heavenly Father will always help you when you are as righteous as you are.
lastly, thank you for always dealing with my crap (metaphorically) because i have a lot a lot of crap (metaphorical in this context). you are the one person who i truly am my worst with, and i'm sorry about that. i hate it a lot. but in all honesty, you baby me a lot so you're basically signing up for it hehe. but seriously now. you are the bestest friend i will ever have. no matter how far we are apart, you will never leave me, and i will never leave you. we are so incredibly blessed to be sealed as an eternal family, ya know?! we are together forever! even if i'm married to some super hot returned missionary and super successful and have some beautiful genius babies and you're some crazy and lonely old dog lady living in the streets (which you will never be, DUH!!). all in all, you're so freaking awesome in so many ways, and i am really truly lucky to be your sister. i couldn't ask for anyone better. i hope i am all you ever wanted as a little sister when you begged mom and dad for me eighteen years ago :-)
