twenty three.

I am officially old. I have no idea why 23 seems so much older than 22... but it does. For real, not kidding. Its been a whirlwind year that began with Hurricane Ike and is ending with a four day rainstorm. {seems fitting, right?} Looking back on the year, I think it was a good one. Nothing beats senior year of college. nothing.

So in the spirit of bringing in a new year.

Here are my resolutions.
