Just this past week I celebrated the birthday which officially put me in the “25+” category. As a newly minted 26 year old, I can’t decide if I’m excited, scared, or annoyed about: being 4 years away from 30, still trying to get the hang of this “adult” thing and the prospect of my metabolism dropping drastically. 
My mid twenties have definitely come out swinging. Learning to prosper and flourish as individual has been matched with being forced to learn how to quickly get over disappointments, fail forward, and become more self reliant.
But all in all, birthdays are still a time for celebration and I was extremely grateful to be able to share it with my family. Not to mention I looked like a freakin’ goddess on August 8th, despite the fact that I looked a hot mess just 12 hours prior. #belikethat #adultlife
Not surprisingly, I was running late and there was no time to whip out the SLR (the men in my life seem to hate cameras, so they were happy), so please enjoy some good old iPhone photos below, filtered to perfection.
Cheers to another year on Earth. I’m excited to see what is in store.
