birthday, birthday, welcome to earth day!

have i mentioned it was my birthday? because it was! and i threw myself a party, because that is the way i like to roll. (actually, ck and briana did all the hard work. thanks a million, girls!)

now, i am willing to throw myself parties, but i am not that into taking pictures of myself at parties i am throwing for myself because that just seems, well, a little too self-indulgent. (though sometimes i really do wonder, is there such a thing?) luckily, professional photographer dallas was on hand and offered to document for me. some people snuck out before their presence could be recorded, but i think this is a fairly good representation of the good times had by all. the only thing missing is a shot of the gallons and gallons of ice cream we ate. and no, i do not exagerrate.

{ryan came all the way from new york city to help me celebrate! and miaken came all the way from the ghetto}











{joel is doing the "touchdown" sign. as he pointed out, twenty-seven is a football score, after all}





{heather brought me beautiful flowers}



{and emily taught me how to tie a stylish summer scarf}

{birthday buddies. dallas had one the day before. the only sad news? i feel like i have a double chin and half-closed eyes in all these pictures. i really am getting old...}
