this is why i love my birthday...

its 2 hours into my birthday and ive already laughed so hard my stomach hurts and tears have run down my face...4 times. my birthday is the one day nothing ever bothers me...its my own personal new years celebration where i reminisce about the past (the good parts anyway), fully enjoy the present, and prepare for a fulfilling year. this day is no exception as i am celebrating it in ithaca with cynthia, abbey, and julia. this i have made an amazing group of girlfriends in a relatively short amount of time, yet i know these girls are going to be a huge part of my life from here on in. and here is a tribute to what is shaping to be another incredible day of birth experience:

cynthia and abbey in pajamas being their ridiculous selves

me and abbey in our default snuggle position

julia being incredible and baking me a gluten free raspberry chocolate cake. she must really love me to put up with my dietary ridiculousness. 

i have no words for this one.

the dark knight.
