Less than 36 hours until the big day. Been trying to convince Mom that I am not going to take 21 shots. While I do think it would be fun to DIE on my birthday, I have decided against that ritual. So no fear. In the words of Minerva McGonagall, "It will be a night…

On Friday, I finished The Purpose Driven Life. 40 days of reading. 40 days of learning about my purpose. 40 days of becoming a pretty humbled Christian. I wish I could put into words what the book was about. It was difficult. It is hard realizing that how you live your life is not how…

<—Mel was Chicago. Michelle was Alabama. I was Nor Cal. Sara was Kansas. Sally was Chicago. Megan was So Cal. Liz was Texas. So last night was the invite. My first one that I did not have to be control of. Not gonna lie, got a little too relaxed. But it was good times, good…
