she was an insta-friend. we met through a few mutual friends, had great american writers together, and in one way or an other, ended up becoming besties. funny how friendships begin and grow. this one was on the fasttrack. we went from not knowing each other at all merely a year ago, to hanging out quite often. i enjoy her. kesley is one of the most genuine and compassionate people i know. she cares so deeply for people and particularly her friends. i am incredibly blessed to have her in my life and cherish our friendship. anyone who knows her feels the same. she is just that amazing. it was her birthday yesterday and she graduated from college in december. plus she helped me a ton on a few j. shipley photography projects. SO, we for sure needed to do a photo shoot. and that we did. gleefully. she laughed a lot. and so did i. what fun. yay for kelsey q.
