Today, at 11:36 AM, I will officially be 23 years old. This is a rather unremarkable age, but I will celebrate it nonetheless. Thank you to everyone who has/will be sending me birthday greetings/cards/presents/chips and salsa – I appreciate all of it and I love all of you!
I now present to you photos. Yay, photos!

I’m the one in the hat.
My dad, sporting a lovely hospital gown and some very 80s glasses.
I still wear sailor dresses from time to time, when I feel fancy.
This was before I smeared the cake all over my face.

Wow, you do totally look like your mom.
On my twenty third birthday I was seven months pregnant, and very depressed. I have a photo of me, in a striped shirt and maternity overalls, my hair growing in from shaving my head three months prior, with sad eyes.
Have a beautiful day.
