Good morning and happy Tuesday!
I could not possibly be any more thrilled to be writing this blog that has come such a long way over the last year. What started off as a hobby filled with personal thoughts has taken off amongst my friends and family over the last 52 weeks. I am forever grateful for all of you that have made the success of this blog so simplistic. As you probably could imagine, I aspire to continue to dazzle you with my hilarious thoughts and elaborate vocabulary for years and years to come.
This post comes just two days after my weekend birthday bender. Rather than talking about how much fun I had (which I could not even convey in words what a blast it was) I would like to take some time to thank all of my friends that shared my special weekend with me. I cannot describe in words the sense of joy and appreciation I have towards each and every one of you. I cannot express how grateful I am for the friends that I have collected over the years. Every single one of you holds a special place in my heart. There will never be another human being that can take the place of any one of you. I can only strive to be half the friend of what you guys are to me. I truly adore and value each one of you. I spent the last week celebrating my life, and I'd like to spend forever celebrating our friendships.
I would like to thank Andrea specifically for driving 6.5 hours to spend my special day with me. Though you danced with me so hard that my glasses launched off of my head on multiple occasions, I sure did have a blast with you. Thank you to the countless people that called, texted, tweeted, and facebooked me. Thank you to Ryan and Scott, that sent me little presents and love notes in the mail. Thanks to the 16 people that came out to dinner on Friday evening. Thanks to Caitlynn for throwing the Saturday gathering. Thanks to everyone that came out on Saturday, thanks to my Starbucks friends for the Sunday morning party, and thanks to the very few of you that made it to work on Sunday to wrap up my birthday weekend.
I encourage everyone to check out my birthday photos on facebook. I would like to include them in this blog but they are plentiful and they are tricky to embed into this blog format.
This week, like most weeks, will have a strong emphasis on work. With the floorset setting, I will not have much down time. However, on Wednesday my friend Amy and I will be on the Q92 morning show so everyone should listen to it!
Congratulations to one of my dearest friends, Jenna, on her new job. I am so happy for you. I can't think of anyone that deserves to be happy more than you! I love you.
Last but not least- this week's shout out goes to Drew and Izzy for always keeping me laughing at work no matter what is happening. You guys are the best, even when you wear those stupid Hawaiian shirts.
I will return next week with a themed topic but until then,
Here's to appreciating those that surround your life,
I am so thankful for all of you,
Xoxo
