the 28th birthday.

birthdays have always been something my family has over celebrated.  

my extended family is pretty small and so my parents (mom) typically went all out. 

we are talking about pony rides through the neighborhood.

and

buried treasure in our yard and pirate treasure hunts (obviously for my ML)

we. love. birthdays. 

even more evidence:

(my freshman year of college I believe she FLEW with ML and I's traditional bday cake up to Taylor)

really it ultimately boils down to birthdays mean spending time with the people that you love

this year on my 28th birthday...I got to spend it with some of my favorite people.  

I woke up to decorations and remembered again how great my roommate is.

We went to Noda Brewery
