Today feels pretty much the same as any other, except it is my BIRTHDAY! I wrote these ‘birthday related posts for the last few years and I really liked them so I wanted to include them this year with a few pictures of birthdays past.I really can’t believe it the last year of my 20s. That to me, is scary.. I wonder if for some things my internal clock is ticking. I mean a lot has happened in the last year from Sean losing his job, us moving to a nicer apartment, then us moving to a house, roommate moving out, friends come and gone and Sean regaining his job back! It’s been a roller coaster ride but we are just doing the best we can and trying to make the most of everyday.
