24? really?

I don’t know how my birthday came so quickly! Surely another year hasn’t come and gone… I feel like life is speeding up so fast and that I will never fit in everything I want to experience. (which is the ENTIRE world, by the way!) I never would have imagined that I would give up consuming animal products, nor could I have expected my life to take the path that it has. Even through all the hard times, I wouldn’t change anything. I have overcome some major emotional hurdles this year and have more self worth than I’ve had at any other point in my life. For that I am grateful.

I barely made this post I missed making this post on my birthday as I was off having a very special (and crazy) night with some of the most important people currently in my life. We ate at the most fabulous raw, vegan restaurant in St. Augustine which I will have a whole post on when I finally get caught up. I’m about to curl up and read a couple pages of one of my presents “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle” before passing out. For the most part, it has been a wonderful day.

My mom made this and sent it to me today. awwww

And my 24th birthday picture..

oh! side note! I was absolutely thrilled today when my site mentor, Erin, at Healthy Start and my co-worker server, Charisse, brought along the whole office crew to deliver a vegan birthday cake to my desk. I was told that they called all over the city trying to figure out how to get me a vegan (NOT vegetarian as many of the places kept asking) cake. I truly am thankful for all the amazing people in my life.

Previously, I posted about my the present I made my mom for her birthday. Just thought I would share a few pages from the album I had made.

She’ll probably kill me for telling the world wide web that she’s turning 50. But I’ll deal with that when I see her again in a few weeks.

I would like to share the present I had made for her, but she won’t receive it until Friday and I’d hate to ruin the surprise.. so for now..

My mommy dearest

Happy Birthday, Mom. See you in less than 3 weeks!

I turn 23

You don’t even want to know how long it took me to get one good shot. I had to set my camera up on a tripod and manually focus 5 gazillion times until my estimation was correct.

I decided, for once, not to Photoshop out the circles under my eyes. That’s me at this point in my life–tired! With AmeriCorps, my job at the assisted living facility, and photography, I am working between 70 and 80 hours a week– and I just interviewed for another year of AmeriCorps. Call me crazy!

I can only hope that a year of being 23 will be as successful as 22 has been!

Here is me 20 years ago!! That’s my mom there on the right

Bon anniversaire à moi!
