Growing Up & Growing Old

Another day, another year older. I am officially in my late 20's. As another birthday passes, it really makes me think about life and how fast it goes by. Being the youngest of 3, I have always felt like a young and carefree kid. Now as I get older, I realize just how interesting and amazing life is. Just watching Alexis grow up in the last 11 months has been mind boggling. Seeing her when she was just a day old - she was so small and didn't really do much but sleep and eat. And since I've been unemployed, I've been able to watch her get bigger, start to babble, crawl every which way and develop this hysterical and fun personality. Its pretty awesome. Getting older has also made me really appreciate all the great things in my life. I have a wonderful family and awesome friends.

This year, since I was turning 27, I decided to keep the birthday low key. No parties like years before, just a small dinner with close family and friends

Lexi didn't make it out to my dinner due to her previous napping obligations

After dinner, a few of us kept the party going and headed over to Yard House. We had a few more drinks and hung out for a bit. I was a bit tipsy, had a GREAT birthday. Thanks to everyone for making my day so special!
