Twenty Four

I turned 24 last month! Keeping with new traditions, I had brunch with my mom to start the day. This year we went to Alcove, which was delicious and perfect despite us having to whisper at each other over our eggs because my mom had lost her voice. After lunch we headed over to the Huntington. My membership is about to expire and I'm not going to renew it so it was nice to spend a few last moments in my favorite spot and see the garden in springtime.




That night I went to Perch with my friends and somehow took no pictures at all, but it was lovely. 24, so far so good.

Nobody Likes You When You're 23?

Finally sharing some snippets of my birthday (2 months ago). The last time I was in LA on my birthday I was turning 18, so it was nice to be here and just enjoy my birthday at home. I was thoroughly spoiled: macaroons, my favorite pancakes, a mocha the size of my head that made me feel like I was on Friends, a care package, and my first time having Korean BBQ! I'm a lucky girl surrounded by lots of love. 23, so far so good.

Yesterday was my birthday! As you can see from the picture I snapped with my phone, it was a beautiful day. It was actually the first time since I turned 17 that I had to go to school on my birthday. I went to Coachella on my 18th birthday, my 19th and 20th were on a Saturday and Sunday respectively, and last year I turned 21 in Amsterdam. (Which you can read about here)

Wednesdays are my busiest days, it's pretty much non-stop from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, but I had a lovely day. One of my coworkers surprised me with some candy and a rice krispie treat, JT embroidered me a beautiful quote, and Estrella painted me the amazing watercolor painting that is now my header! After class/work Ali, Estrella and I walked to get Thai food at this place we just discovered three blocks away from campus, which was delicious. It was also my first time in long time that I didn't have a social media site reminding everyone it was my birthday, which made the calls & texts I did get that much more special. All in all I had a great day, and I'm continually thankful for the love I'm surrounded by.


And now the countdown begins! Today is officially one month to graduation!
