The 24th Year.

To say that a lot has changed in the past year would be the understatement of the century! My life has taken an incredibly different and exciting path which I did not exactly expect a year ago from today. I am now pursuing a totally different career and living on an island in South Carolina. What!?


Yesterday, I celebrated my 24th year of living! At first I was a little sad to be away from home, not with familier friends or family, but by the end of the day ... I had a lovely birthday celebration.

Waking up to a slightly sad feeling, I went into work where I didn't think I would have much celebrating to do (of course). My new friend Franklin asked me how my day off was, to which I responded "Great! And today is my birthday!"... He got a huge smile on his face and gave me a hug "Ah! The birthday girl! God bless you!" Later I found out Franklin is from India and I made him promise to teach me some hindi as well as how to make delicious food. He works part time at an Indian restaurant on the island, as well as Sea Pines. Quite the cool dude.

I had a productive day at work. Many wonderful birthday wishes. I ended the day relaxing at home with some of the other interns, eating delicious ice cream cake, and having a few beers. A nice way to spend a birthday.

I am so thankful for everything that happened during my 23rd year. Let's make the 24th just as good!

Thank you for all the birthday wishes. I love each and every one of you (... especially all 3 of you who actually read my blog)
