This is way too long! Sorry. What a gorgeous day it is today! I feel so good today. Started off really fun and I'm excited about the rest of the day too. I'm a really lucky chic. Today's my Anniversary. Its more important than my birthday to me. And I have absolutely every intention of having a freakin blast!
How lucky to get to celebrate it at a St. Patrick's Day party! My new favorite holiday ever! This was a hard week. So many memories of a year ago. A year ago when an aneurysm burst in my head and another almost did and another still in there. Spending weeks at UCSF. Losing someone I loved so deeply. Losing pretty much everything.

So i spent my week mourning and, really, talking about this stuff way too much. I need to stop focusing on a year ago. I mean, seriously, now days are way more fun than last year. Maybe because all my close friends and I spent a good portion of it living like we should have in our 20's lol. Or maybe because I focus on enjoying each day (doesn't always work) or maybe because I've met so many awesome people. Or maybe because I've touched base with old friends. Who knows? My life is...good.

Its insanely awesome. I'm so lucky. I seriously don't know how I would have made it without some of you. Friends dragging me out of my house, from the beginning, listening to music, dancing and, really, just having a good time! I could barely talk but who cares! Almost no one notices anyway lol. Love you chicks! Friends being there for me. No judgement. Letting me ramble. Completely just Letting me just relax. Letting me feel normal. I love you all. We had a blast! Half the time I felt like we were back in high school. I'm seriously going to try super hard to focus on my wonderful life.
