twenty-three

today i turned twenty-three. and although there was cake eaten and presents opened, it really doesn't seem like my birthday today, and it's because it is the first time in five years that i haven't been with my best friends on my birthday. i love my family, and i really did have a great day. but my friends spoil me. i get an entire day--they pamper the princess out of me. and i love them and miss them dearly because of it.

here's to the past year. i hope i am a year wiser. and here's to another year. may answers be found and adventures had and may i continue to be surprised in this merry-go-round ride called life.

i did blow out all my candles in one breath, and i believe my wish will come true.
