Dear Kenya....




My dear friend Alice is leaving for Kitale,Kenya Wednesday morning super early, and will live there for 6 whole months. The closer it gets to the day she is leaving, the more sad I get. I know that God is going to do spectacular things through her while she is there, but it's going to be super hard for me while she is gone! ( selfish sally, I know.)

So Alice, this post if for you!

My favorite things about Allison Danielle-

She taught me how to blog
She introduced me to iced caramel macchiatos
She lets me come to her house and just relax and laugh
She always has my favorite foods at her house just so I feel welcome
She is always willing to listen to what I have to say, and always has great advice
She is PG # 1
We have sleepovers and laugh about nothing in her bed ( LaMadera scent...)
She has a loud, loud laugh and does not care who hears her
She can sing better than anyone I have ever heard
We can watch movies on her couch and look up at each other and are always crying at the same time, laughing at the same things, and oooh-ing at the same moments.
She understands my stupid humor
She marks clothes for me in my anthropologie magazine, therefore inspiring me to be more fashionable
She once told me black and brown do not match, I have not worn them together ever since
She always has a camera and captures awesome moments
We love to eat great food
I can text her about Bill Cosby at 1 am and she will respond


There are hundreds more, but I think she knows them.

Alice, I love you, and I am so proud of who you are. I hope one day I can be just like you. You are strong, independant, funny and beautiful. The fact that you are following God's will for your life, literally across the world, is incredible. Though I will miss you like crazy, know that I am thinking about you... and will keep your house in tip top shape!!

You are the best.

Seriously.
