heart full of wine

Welp, i’m twenty-four today, folks. 

I’m sitting in my new dining room (pictured above - pretty sweet, huh?), watching the sun rise over the mountains on what looks to be shaping up to another beautiful seattle day with the cutest black lab ever at my feet.

As I do every year on my birthday, since it’s impossible not to with the overwhelming texts, facebook posts and calls, I am thinking about how damn lucky I am. It’s a pretty cool feeling to have friends and family from all over the country world sending you well wishes.

Last year on my bday, I never ever ever would have guessed or believed what this past year has had in store for me but now, more than ever, it is so obvious that all the good and bad has happened for a reason. There is no doubt in my mind that I am supposed to be exactly where I am right now and whoaaaaa does that feel good.

My friends are taking me out for lunch at a cool french cafe in capitol hill and then I have to work, unfortunately. I’m sure that there will be post-work drinks to be had though and then tomorrow I have a visitor from minnesota coming to visit. eek.

I hope your February 8th is as beautiful as mine. Thanks for all the love.
