Ellie's Birthday Tribute

One of my very greatest friends, Ellie Anne Anderson, turned fourteen today. Ellie is funny and smart and cute and talented and just plain awesome. Plus, her name is very easily nickname-able. She's been called Ellie-beans, Ellie-phant, Ellie-vator, etc.

Ellie and I have watched many movies, eaten many desserts, ridden (roden? rided? rode-odendroneded? Yes, that one, definitely.)  rode-odendroneded on many bike rides, written down ideas for many inventions and stories, and, among other things, shared many, many laughs together. Ever since sixth grade, when she said the word "phlegm" in an every day situation, I knew she would be an amazing friend, and she certainly has been. 

Happy birthday, Ellie. I'm so glad to know you and to have done so many wonderful things with you. I hope your fourteenth year of life brings a billion more fun things for you. An entire billion.  
Love, Olivia
