Meet my friend, Lauren.

She’s a doll.

Well, technically she’s a human, but she’s just a bit more adorable than the rest of the world.

She will graduate from the University of North Texas (CAWWWW!!) this August with a degree in Hospitality.

Gosh, I honestly don’t think she could be any cuter if she tried. I said it.

Anyone who’s even remotely familiar with Lauren knows she’s frequent visitor to Beth Marie’s (a lovely little ice cream shop on the Denton square). I personally think that with these shots she should be the new Beth Marie’s poster girl. I’m just throwing it out there.

Lauren, you are a gem.

And I mean that with my whole heart.

Happy gradual!
