27.

Today is my favorite day of the entire year.. ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Today I turn 27.

And I am pretty sure, it is going to be an amazing year.

This past weekend all my favorite people came up to Kenosha and partied hard with me at the bar(s).

They spoiled me, We drank, we danced, we stayed out til 2AM, which I haven't done in FOREVER.

815am Saturday. Best time to visit Target.

So peaceful.

All my pretty pretty presents. Thank you ladies - I love it all.

This card was basically made for me. 

I am THE birthday princess

Pregaming with Cards Against Humanity & terrible strawberry shot.

Bar #1 - My besties.

Kalen and her boo thing.

All my pretty friends.

And the perfect delicious end to a bday weekend.

Chocolate Chip Pancakes for the WIN!

I am really blessed with just the most amazing group of friends ever. 

Happy Monday Y'all.
