Meet my Emily friend.  I struggled to find the words to write this, because it felt almost too personal to blog.  Em is one of my dearest friends.  She is beautifully, vulnerably, imperfectly lovely…it's refreshing, and inviting.

She is wise beyond her years, the kindest of friends, trustworthy, and patient.  

She loves well.  She honors well.

She's really fun, and she gets giggly when she's tired…or anytime she's with her sister Carmen. ;)

She's insanely humble.  She thinks of others first.  She gives, and she's honest and vulnerable and authentic that sometimes that's hard and not okay.  

She's not obsessed with perfection.  She receives grace…and gives it.

 She's decorates brilliantly. ;)

She rolls with the punches.  

She loves flowers and the color green, and she makes the most delectable desserts.

She is all kinds of beautiful, and delightfully herself.  She is simply a joy to be with.

Em, you are a treasure.  Hugs!
