Today I am wearing a really special pair of shoes. They’re not strappy sandals or brightly colored peep toes or even Tall Girl shoes.

The countdown to the birthday has begun. Yesterday, GDF informed me that this will be my last Friday as a 28 year old. She’s a good friend. And as far as birthday plans go: check. No pubcrawls this year, but fun for all will still hopefully be had. And then last night, I got an [...]
