Tomorrow morning at 8:32 AM I will turn twenty-five.

Birthdays have always been close to my heart. I love that somebody decided long ago to celebrate the day an individual came into the world. I believe in being spoiled on your birthday and spoiling those you love on their birthdays.

Most years, nothing really feels different. Twenty-two felt different. At twenty-two, I was just coming into my dreams. I was graduating, shooting weddings with Ikonica every weekend, truly learning who I really was, and getting engaged to my incredible husband! Twenty-five will be a continuation of all of that, without a doubt, just like these past three years have been.

Twenty-four has been good to me. So good. I am continuously learning what it means to be a wife, a business owner, a better friend, and to relax. There have been so many good things that have come with my twenty-fourth year, and I’m jumping up and down inside with excitement at the future God has for me!
