Today is my 22nd birthday, and though I am so excited for what this 22nd year will bring, I can't help but reflect on all the wonderful things that my 21st year brought. 

I went to Disneyworld for the first time with Trevor and his family (Trev is on the far left)

Yes. I'm wearing a first-timer button.

Drank too much wine.

Got to decorate my apartment for Christmas and organized a holiday fundraiser to raise money for Women Helping Women!

Became an editorial assistant on The Everygirl, and talked my way into a summer internship with Jess Constable!

Attended the BHLDN + The Everygirl Event in Chicago (photo courtesy of the lovely Alaina)

Was thrown the SWEETEST (literally and figuratively) surprise birthday bash on Saturday, thanks to my absolutely wonderful friend, Miss Kate Daugherty. She put so much work into making the little details extra special for me, right down to the thin mint truffles she homemade and the sugar rimmed cosmopolitans she served. I am so, so lucky to have such beautiful friends.

Honestly, there were so many wonderful moments from this past year. More than I can write about. I have the most incredible family, friends, and boyfriend a girl could ask for, and as long as they're around, I have no doubt that year 22 will be even more amazing.

And last but not least, thank you to my wonderful readers (I have READERS! yay!) for checking in on this little blog, leaving sweet comments, tweeting kind thoughts, and generally making my day. I appreciate it so much. 

Cheers!
