::whirlwind weekend::

About 15 girls headed to the lake this weekend to celebrate the upcoming marriage of KC in the form of a bachelorette party. It's kind of crazy to think that she will be KG in 12 days. Twelve days... 

Fun was had. Wine was drank. And gifts were opened. I love being a girl. 

we also celebrated the birthday of my rooms.

b is for birthday and bailey.

::a birthday tribute::

This is my friend katie {or crawf, crawfy, kcrawf}.

She's turning the big 23 today and I am so excited

to celebrate her this evening with mexican food

and friends and patio time. The funniest thing about all

of these nicknames is that she will be loosing them soon.

You see, my little crawfy is getting married in 3

weeks. THREE weeks! What a lucky man her fiance...

Here's wising you a lovely, perfect birthday. 

I LOVE YOU.

This post is a bit belated as Mindy's birthday was on 

Friday and not today.  She has now been 23 for three

whole days. These pics are not from her birthday

but they do sum up her perfectly. This was a karoake 

adventure of ours a few weeks ago. And congrats to KB,

she got a new job as a kindergarten teacher :)

..........................................................................................

Feeling overwhelmed with thankfulness towards my friends.

Every phone call, text, & voicemail made my day.

THANK YOU. It was a perfect day.

I am so very blessed to have each one of you in my life.

I love you all! xoxo

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.

in my 23rd year. cheers!
