Winter Trees + A Birthday

It has been a crazy January, and my 31st birthday (tomorrow!) has been fast approaching. We are spending it mountainside with a group of friends, in hopes that snowboarding will once again make me slow down, appreciate the outdoors, and feel younger. February, maybe you are an okay month to celebrate a birthday?

Hello 30

This morning, I officially became 30. And since everyone has been asking how I'm feeling... I'm feeling like I am in the picture above. Pretty happy, but pretty cold. But it's alway cold on my birthday. I'm not too excited to be out of my 20's—they were some of the best years of my life—but I'm really content right now thanks to family and friends. And let's be honest, nothing really changes overnight. Right?
