I turned the ripe age of 23 last week and it was the best birthday yet. My parents hosted a BBQ in their backyard complete with their famous ribs, banana cake, and American decor. Jan + Bill brought a brand new puppy for everyone to play with and little brother Cole had his bandmate play us a few jams. It was quite the perfect summer evening. We went boating the next day and then celebrated the 4th all weekend long. I think I might be the luckiest 23 year old around, even if I didn't get to keep the puppy.
Thank you dear friends for making the trek up North!
