Today is my 27th birthday. My dad says I’m closer to 30, I say I’m closer to 25! This was a really nice surprise from my cousin Amanda and my aunt Mechelle and my Nana. Amanda always comes up with the most fun surprise gifts! Thanks guys!! I’m now off to my birthday dinner at Sticky Rice, one of my all time favorite restaurants. I haven’t tried the one here in DC yet, only in Richmond, Va. I hope it’s as fabulous as the one back home! Have a great weekend, and I’ll update you Monday on what other birthday surprises I had!
