Confession #2 - Since I have a bazillion siblings, I never really had a big party for just me (almost always shared with my dear sister Rachel whose birthday is 10 days after mine; I loved that as a child).
Confession #3 - I have some of the awesomest friends ever who threw me a party of epic proportions. They definitely made the standards for any future party quite high.
Here's some highlights...
  |
| Crab + Crawfish Boil - Steven and Jeremy had a little too much fun playing with them |
 |
| Sweet Christine with baby Norah (the party was held at her house) |
 |
| Yum! |
 |
| Life-Size Jenga |
 |
| Luci Belle having fun with the sacks for sack-racing |
 |
| We were in foodie, seafood-lover heaven |
 |
| Linda + Jessica + Baby Dash + Me |
 |
| The Trio! |
 |
| The Crew - thanks for the best birthday ever! |
Confession #4 - I'm moving to Austin this fall, and it's going to be a very difficult transition for me. Bittersweet. I'm so glad for what I'll gain in Austin and the opportunities there, but I know there will never be another "crew" like my current one, and that every year on my birthday, I will think back to this year and how much fun it was. As I sat in the backyard, enjoying every moment, there was a layer of sadness as I thought and knew that soon I would be sitting the backyard for the final time, saying goodbye, as we embark on a new chapter of our lives. Here's to enjoying and savoring every moment in life and having gratitude for the opportunities to live life fully with those around you.
Tear. It was a great party. Sure gonna miss you.
