Happy Birthday to Me!

Last year on my birthday, I woke up to a decorated apartment - there were balloons, streamers, and signs everywhere. There was a list of Top 10 "Sarah-isms" that made me laugh for weeks.

I woke to a boyfriend, best friends, and the promise of a day filled with fun. Oh yeah, and school. Ick.

Today, I woke up to a quiet, empty new "home." Everything is different.

Life is not at all how I expected to be... but I guess life is teaching me that life doesn't always work out the way we had planned.

But in the end, even though my life is far from perfect, I am happy to have awesome friends and family to share my day with.


Here's to a fabulous and fun-filled year ahead... may it contain many unforseen new adventures.

P.S. Do you ever look at old pictures and wish you were still that adorable? Yeah, me either.
