I'm so excited! Today is Jill's 20th birthday and she is living her life long dream of being in Ireland right at this moment (even though she is sleeping right now because they are eight hours ahead there). So I figured I would make a little tribute to Jill because of what a wonderful friend she is to me and for all the years we've known each other (coming up on 14 now).
To Jill:
Thank you for being my friend. As simple as that sounds, it's true. I've always loved our friendship even in it's difficult times. I remember the first day we met. Playing "hats" in my parents old Suburban on the way back to you're house. I knew it would be good times from then on. Other fond memories include playing Beanie Babies, Barbies, Littlest Pet Shop, The Yogesters, sewing clothes for our toys, tea parties, playing in my room while Kelsey and Kelsey were on the bunk bed talking and thinking how bored they must be "just talking," drinking "Sunshine," going for walks to the corner store, playing out in the forest at my house, playing music together, being in Anne of Green Gables together, trampoline time, playing cards, dreaming of Ireland, and soooooo much more.
I'm so stoked that I get to spend a month with you on the other side of the world and that we'll get to have the adventure of our lives!
Biggest hugs, Karissa
To everyone else, yes that's right, I am going to Ireland too. Jill and I are going to do some traveling and sightseeing; hopefully we'll catch a bit of the UK (or Great Britain whatever you want to call it) as well. I'm super thrilled and can't wait for May 28th to arrive.
