Anniversary and Birthday

Today marks the one year anniversary since I graduated from the fabulous University of Illinois. It really is hard to believe that it's been a year already. It feels like not long ago, I was just moving there, and now it's a year later since leaving there. Very bizarre. I still miss it there, and something tells me that I always will.

It's also my mommy's birthday! Happy Birthday, Mom! I truly hope your day is super fabulous and that you'll have many, MANY more wonderful days ahead! I'll never have trouble remembering my graduation date because it shares mom's birthday. Also interestingly enough, this post is the 62nd post I've done, which is how old my mom is today. Crazy ironic, right?!

In any regard, I decided to post a few pictures in honor of the one year anniversary.

Mariah (my adorable 2nd cousin) and I outside Assembly Hall after the ceremony.

Best friends: Whitney, me, and Erinn.

One of my fave pictures ever of the three of us - my 22nd birthday.

The Quad! Mandi, Stephanie, me, and Erinn - Stephanie's wedding.

Another fave - I loved football games, that's for sure!
