Well you see.. yesterday was the day to celebrate these 22 years of life I've been blessed with. I was not expecting the day to be much of anything super extravagant as tuesdays are usually my busiest, most blah days. Those friends and family of mine though.. they can make anything special.. they really can. They can take any tuesday and turn it terrific :) I have a very short list and a set of pictures (in no particular order) to display the many ways in which those near and dear loved me well on my special day. (mostly just to brag about my friends because they're really cool looking.. and the way they love people is really cool looking.) hey! how about 22 of them??

"I choose to celebrate this birthday, a marker that I've been granted one more year to grow wiser, to continue to learn how to live well, content and at peace with myself, others, and God."
amen.
