Today is my 26th birthday and wow! I cannot believe I am 26! Holy crap! 25 was a great year ’cause last year this time I was in Miami for my birthday with some of my close friends! That was awesome! While I was 25, I traveled to Houston in May and saw Beyoncé in concert!!!! That was amazing and it was actually an item on my bucket list. In July I met up with my friend in LA and drove down the PCH to meet up with another friend and spend the fourth of July in San Diego. Watching fireworks off the pier was incredible and I hope to do that again some time! Another one of my friends lives in San Francisco and so my friend Angeleah and I traveled to SF to see her. I hadn’t been there in years so it was amazing to go back again! My last little trip was to Boston to see my sister who had a health conference there. My other sister Crystal who lives here in Colorado traveled with me and we surprised her at about 11 pm! She was pretty much asleep so idk (I’m gonna use text language in my blog) if she was actually surprised or thought it was a dream. In Boston, we met up with my mom, aunt and one of my moms friends and had dinner on the Boston Harbor in a yacht. There was a DJ on the yacht that was so live! Overall, these travels made it an amazing year!
This year I truly did realize something, and that is that most of my friends do not actually live in Colorado. While that may be upsetting to some, it has made me realize that our friendship is not defined by the physical distance but by our support and encouragement for one another. It is pretty awesome to know that your friends are all around the world accomplishing their goals and dreams. To all my friends out there I want you to know that you inspire me.
This year for my birthday I am actually eating. I am traveling to my favorite restaurants and eating ALL FREAKING DAY! That is the fairy tale folks! One of my friends comes in from Houston and another is here from LA, so it is nice that we will get to meet up again!
