Attempts and Failures and Lila Bean.

So yesterday I quit facebook and went to Atlanta Vintage Books with Lila. Did I complete #13 though? Definitely not.
Atlanta Vintage Books is CLOSED ON MONDAYS. Of course it is. It was about an hour round trip, but was it worth it? Definitely. Lila and I have been friends since our families took a very eventful trip to Italy in 2006. Don't get me wrong, we were friends before we just really solidified our relationship then. And yesterday I got to spend some quality time with one of my greatest friends! Lila may be two years my junior but it has never seemed that way. She is incredibly mature and wise and funny and cool and sweet and beautiful to boot. She has always been confident enough to tell me when I am being ridiculous or looking ridiculous even if I'm not necessarily in the mood to hear it. That is one of the things I am most grateful for!
We have been blessed to be able to travel with each other from Italy and Mexico, to New York and the British Virgin Islands. We have gone to school together, danced together, and most importantly been Lake Rabun neighbors. And now we get to go to school together again!  Lila has told me that we have spent the last four 4th of Julys together (and she is the one with the memory so I'm going to trust her) and that this will be our fifth.
So here is to great friendship and allowing my list to really let me stop and appreciate it. I LOVE YOU LILA BEAN.
