quarter century old

Well, I'm officially 25! Man, I'm old. But as Ari said, I have already suffered my quarter life crisis so I guess that's a good thing. This photo was taken at an awesome Spanish restaurant called Ibesa. Instead of the usual free piece of cake, we got cotton candy in huge silver cups with a sparkler. It was so cool.

Also on the actual night of my birthday, we went to Craft in Dallas. If you haven't heard of it, it's owned my renowned Chef Tom Colicchio, producer of the Bravo show Top Chef. Let me just surmise to say that it was one of the best meals of my life! I got lots of sweet calls and lovely gifts, so thanks to all of you for making my day so special. :)

cutest kids ever

well, i finally found a part-time job to keep me busy for the rest of the summer. i am a substitute counselor at the Houston JCC pre-school day camp. that means i get to see the teeny tiny ones 2 to 4 years olds! while they are adorable, they are also the most energy guzzling things i've ever seen. I only go til 1:30 most of the time and by the time i make it home i am dead to the world and have to take a nap in order to function the rest of the day! this week i spent two days with the "whales." they are mostly 4 year-olds and all it takes is 1 day for me to get attached. here's a cute picture of them i posted today:



from left to right is will, rachel, olivia and sasha.

oh yea, i think my job is the hardest because i don't get just one class. so far i have learned the names and personalities of about 50 campers! but it's all worth it. there is something about children that makes me so happy. :)

I have bangs!

OK so I don't think I've had bangs since I was 7, but I decided to do something drastic and try it again, this time with a more "sweeping to the side look."



Let me know what you all think. ;)
