I turned eighteen last week. I feel as though I've been turning eighteen for the past four years now and I'm so incredibly happy that the day finally arrived. I was lucky to spend a majority of my day with all of my wonderful co-workers who threw me a surprise party with lots of love and treats. I'm looking forward to what will come in the future. Anyways, I'm back!

Last Night

I spent last night getting reacquainted with the seventeen year old inside of me. I listened to early 2000's love songs, went to outer space, ate a crunch wrap supreme from Taco Bell, took a few photographs, and loitered along a hillside. It was all I needed.

I ended up working on location last Friday and got these amazing shots. I can never see myself working in a nine to five sort of situation, so dull. I think that's the best part of my job, it has a perfect blend of chaos and routine.
