Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday to me!

I did not realize how much I have changed in a year and although I am at the same whopping size of 5'2" (and still growing, lol), I know that my life has changed as well as the person who I am. I am more patient, mature, wiser, grateful, and on the road to somewhere great. 23 never felt so good!

I'd also like to say to all who celebrated with me: THANK YOU! Because I simply would not be half the person I am today without your constructive criticism, advise, guidance, honest opinions, and love.

And a quick special thanks to all of my "honorary photographers!" Sister: thanks for making me look my best on my special day!
