Happy Birthday, Ellen Suzanne! I really cannot express how genuinely thankful I am that Ellen was born twenty years ago. I am positive I would not have survived the last two years of college without her support not to mention the rest of my life without our friendship. If you have never met this beautiful young woman, allow me to give you a bit of a glimpse into who she is:
1. Ellen is genuinely vulnerable
2. She loves the color red and all things cow (stuffed cow, cow print, cow sweater--anything, really!)
3. She has a tremendous amount of compassion
4. Her laugh is hysterical, I love it!
5. She loves to eat her jello frozen.
6. She tries with all she's got to be real, to be exactly who she is. And she succeeds. Ellen is real and it is refreshing.
7. I get to live with her for the next TWO (ahhhhh!!!!woohoooo!) years.
8. When she cries, I someimtes wonder if I need to phone an ambulance:)
9. She's brilliant. Modest about her brilliance, but brilliant nonetheless.
10. Inspiring. She's truly inspiring.

I am so thankful she was born!! Happy Birthday, ESC!

Love,
Anna
