birthday wishes.

beautiful peonies (my favorite) from my amazing team.

This past Wednesday, I turned the big 23!!! Of course my immediate thoughts rushed to the fact that T. Swift's song "22" was no longer applicable to me. Regardless of the fact that I'll still bop away to her addictive teeny-bopper tune, I'm just stoked that I got to share the big day with my family, main squeeze, and friends!

As such, I wanted to say thanks to all of you and my dear friends who took the time to FB, tweet, text and/or even call me with sweet words and birthday wishes. You all mean so much to me, and I'm the luckiest girl in the world to be surrounded by such amazing and supportive people. This birthday week was filled with so much fun, endless laughter, beautiful flowers (peonies and stargazer lilies), as well as throwback karaoke - couldn't have done it without you all!

For m'dears who are far away, here are a few snippets of the birthday week celebrations. (Wished you were here to celebrate!)
