24 and loving it!

I can't believe that I am 24 already! I suppose it should come as no surprise to me but it kinda snuck up. I visited Iowa City to celebrate the big 2-4 with my buddies from JVA while Ryan went to a sky diving boogie in Brooklyn.

This weekend has helped me, once again, to realize how lucky I am! I have a pretty great life! Great friends, a great boyfriend, a great job, an awesome apartment, a supportive family and financial security that some people don't get a chance to enjoy. I am very grateful for everything that life has given me and I hope that someday I can help people with my success.

OK. I am done with the mushy existential crap. On to what I got! Michelle and Mel gave me an awesome case of the crabs! Actually I got a fun pack from them with a super cute purse, crab pate and cup (which I enjoyed eating my dinner on this week), twizzlers (I blame all my weight gain on them) and a tennis type game to play outside. My grandmother and aunt and uncle gave me money which I promptly spent on decking out my new phone with jazzy stuff to make it into an mp3 player. My parents gave me an awesome piece of art and are going to pay to have it framed (once that is done i will put up a pic). And my sweet Ryan gave me a headlamp, some camping stuff, a date with a personal trainer and a facial at a local spa. All in all a pretty good haul for 24.

Well I am going to go love my wonderful life a little bit more by watching Juno (which was also purchased by my grandmother and relatives). Don't expect any news for a while. The Pool House Reunion is in less than a week and I totally plan on falling off the face of the planet in to my girlfriends arms to shop and laugh and once again, love my life!
