All Growed Up

I'm here in Chicago spending the morning in meetings before leading an afternoon of training sessions and kicking off my sorority's national convention!  I'm so excited to be spending the big day with so many friends and family that I've known for so long. I can honestly say that I've gained amazing, life-long friends through the sorority.

I had the idea to share pictures with you all from various birthdays throughout my life. The benefit of a summer birthday was getting to have pool parties and other fun things. I hope you enjoy them!!


On the left is Lauren, my close friend since before we were born. I'm clearly upset about something at our 1st birthday party...

Best birthday party ever for 5 - a carnival in our backyard with games, spin art, and more!

Sometime as a teenager, 15 perhaps? Definitely had my awkward stage...

 

I can't wait to see what the next 25 years will bring!
