i loved everything about last night.
the people. the food. the background music.
the conversation. hearing all of our friends voices
under the same roof. the laughing. halloween plates.
the bourbon frosting. the group photo.

we are so incredibly lucky,

happy 28th birthday, my love!
[and toddy!]

final thought:

don’t complain or roll your eyes when it’s time for a group
selfie. SURELY, you have been asked to do worse things.
this took all but 60 seconds, and someday down the road,
you’ll be so thankful to have the memory.
too many of my friends and family get all “oh my godddddd”
on me, and it’s weird. i’m not weird for wanting the photo,
YOU’RE WEIRD for not wanting it. boo-ya.
