It's my birthday. And I will cry, or get rip roaring drunk if I want to.

Greetings friends! I have got to update this thing with some pictures, or something! I haven't looked at it in a while and it's looking pretty sad. I will write in a reminder in my schedule to spruce it up a bit. In the meantime, I have a birthday coming up this Friday and I am excited. I get so excited over birthdays. Most of my friends could care less about their birthdays, and I find that unfortunate. I think mine, and everyone else's birthday, should be a full out celebration, dragged out as long as possible!

I'm turning 25 this year and I don't know how I feel about that. 25 is not old. And I still have my looks and health so I really have nothing to complain about. But it is strange how fast your years go by once you graduate high school, or that's when I started to notice it fly by anyway. I don't think I ever pictured my life at 25, but I feel pretty satisfied with myself and my accomplishments thus far. Especially if you take a look back at my lifestyle 4 years ago. No need to go into any details, but let's just say I've come a long way! I'm in a wonderful relationship with my best friend, and I never knew I could love someone as much as I love Sterling. Most of my family is still alive and in good health, I have great girlfriends, even though I don't see them near as much and they are increasingly moving away, Megan, Barrett, Donald :(, but life is wonderful and I am thankful to have lived a quarter of a century!

Enough of that sappy stuff, let's talk about the party! We are having a party for me at our house this Saturday, May 17th at 5pm. I think I've invited all of you, but if anyone is reading this and hasn't been invited, you are more than likely welcome to come ;) We're having a cookout, Miami Vices, wine, beer, and cake. Seriously, what else could you want in life? Well besides a beach or pool and for that, I'm more sorry than you that I can't have that on my birthday. Here is the disclaimer: family, friends, children of friends, etc. Leigh has a tendency to blow-it-out on my birthdays. Any sloppy, trash talkin, physical, silly, sassy, whathaveyou behavior is bound to happen, and will have to be totally accepted. Especially when you throw Donsey into the mix ;) Don't say you were weren't warned. Looking forward to seeing you all out!
