Chicago life.

I have some of the most amazing friends, in one of the greatest cities and absolutely nothing to complain about (besides winter). Life is good.

quarter century old + 2009 recap.

I am about to skip town for the holidays (sans laptop — wahoo!), but I must admit I'm turning 25 this Saturday. It's kind of a big deal... hello, adulthood (for real this time). 2009 has honestly been the most amazing year, so cheers to life and all the people who make it so great!

 Here's my recap:

• I started taking sewing classes.
• I jumped out of a perfectly good plane.
• I scored my dream job.
• I got to see my favorite band with my best friend.
• I replaced my dinosaur powerbook with a shiny new MBP.
• I started biking to work on a regular basis (until it snowed).
• I was able to visit both Taliesin and Taliesin West.
• I spent 4th of July with 3 of the most amazing people I know.
• My dog surpassed my age (in doggy years).
• I paid off my credit card. 
• I finally launched my portfolio site.

Did I miss anything?
