26!

if you know me, you know i love birthdays -- especially my own. yesterday i turned 26, and i was reminded again what a gift it is that i have such incredible friends and family. you people are rare, and a blast to live life with. thank you, thank you for the snail mail (it really is the best), voicemails, texts, cupcakes, and tiara (yes, that happened. cheers to princess month.).

the party started last weekend with a little getaway shopping trip in dallas with mom (so fun!! you're the best, mom!) and a last minute trip to lufkin to see our friends, katelyn and walker. it was so great to finally see their world, meet their daughter, and slumber party together. we could not be more thankful for these friends.

yesterday was a full day of good people and good food (waffles and cookie cake on the same day, y'all!). chris threw a little shindig for me last night and invited all our friends here in norman -- i honestly loved providing a party for people. i mean, everyone loves a good party, right?

michael jordan turned 50 yesterday. my husband is too clever. 

also, to be perfectly transparent, there were many lonely days when we first moved to norman, so when i looked around last night, i was just so thankful to have good friends. that's certainly not something i take for granted anymore. you people are a gift! thanks for making feel loved!
