The big 2-7 with the best friends one could ever ask for!

Hello bunnies!

Today is my 27th birthday!

I thought I'd share a few photos from yesterday's festivities while I wait for more to unfold this evening!

Nick had to work, but was sure to leave me little love notes around...

Kaycie and I started the day off with a fancy little brunch with a Victorian Tea Party theme. 

We had pastries, fresh berries, bacon, eggs, and most importantly....mimosas! 

Later that evening, my very best friends in the world, Kaycie, Dylan, Sue, and my wonderful boyfriend Nick, had a little soiree planed for me! They took me out for a lovely dinner, followed by drinks and board games chez Sue & Justine.

I did fingerwaves and pincurls in my hair and pinned it up in a faux 20s style bob. I absolutely love this length on me, and am highly considering chopping my hair off.

 Sue and Justine have a little hobby farm with lots of chickens, ducks and turkeys, all free-range. This lil guy came trotting up to the deck to say hello and posed for some photos.

Off to the Green House restaurant. Unfortunately the service was terrible (2 hours for our food, rude servers, undercooked food...and I have a touch of food poisoning) but we made the most of it!

Back to Sue & Justine's for card games and birthday presents. Dylan gave me this wonderful vintage Jesus statue, which will go perfectly with my creepy religious-iconography wall in my living room. Yep, I collect creepy Jesus things!

Silly crowns for everyone, and Dylan in a dress. We played Cards Against Humanity- my all time favorite! The dirty version of Apples to Apples!

All in all, it was a very magical night, and I am so grateful to have such wonderful people in my life!!!


Today, on my actual birthday, I'm giving thanks to my parents for what they did 27 years go, and for all the hard work that ensued.

Also, many thanks to my friends past, present, and future..even those bad few I've lost along the way- you've all helped me become the person I am today.

Thanks to my haters, who've pushed me to DO more. Thanks to my lovers, who encouraged me to LOVE and LEARN more.

So so SO many thanks to my true love, Nick, for being my rock, my inspiration, my support, my joy.

So yes, happy birthday to me- but the real celebration is not only existing, but enjoying it with all the beautiful people in this world.

XOXOXOX
