Happy Birthday to Me!!!<\/p>\n

It's my\u00a0birthday, so you know I wanna....tell you about how this past year was!

I mean....God has been blessing me immensely, and I'm excited to see what this next year has in store, now that I've entered the land of the late 20s.<\/p>\n

Below is a rundown of 27 memorable things that happened over the past year. (I finally get why people say I change my hair a lot. Guess how many styles are represented in just these pictures??)<\/p>\n
