born to be wild

I was born 24 years ago on this day [at approximately 4:36PM] :)

This is how I woke this morning:

Also, I ordered my first pair of TOMS shoes! 

Tuesday I leave to join all three of my very best[est] friends in Manhattan, NY.

My sweet, sweet family took me to dinner the other night, & my precious parents got me nice gifts & my favorite; this bear:

(of which is currently tied in the running for the name Banksy & Alfonzo)

I welcome you, 24, with open arms, and a sort of hope & feeling that you'll do me better than I'm thinking 25 will..

Needless to say,

waking up never felt this gooooood.

Cheers to another year.
