Oh momentous day. Today I turn 22.

sweater: express   l   pants: gap   l   scarf: ae   l   booties: libby edelman

22 guys! Am I old or what? Hah.... okay just kidding. Now you're all rolling your eyes at me. But seriously, it's been quite the year. I'd also like to add that this was my first birthday ever with husband and I'm sooo excited for more to come. I love birthdays! Not just my own, but others' too. Growing up, it's always been quite the thing to celebrate and I think that's the way it should be. The opportunity to celebrate YOUR special day, every year, on the same exact day, with the people you love most. Now that, is awesome. Especially when mama, pops, husband, and oh so lovely friends send you little letters and gifts to remind you that it's your birthday. I'm so loved guys! It's kinda overwhelming. How did I get so lucky to be surrounded by this many wonderful people? Thank you dear family and friends for wishing me a happy birthday and for making this day a memorable one! [me = blessed]


P.S....
this is the kind of love notes you get when you marry an engineer.
just in case you were wondering.

 it made my heart smile.

    Happy 22nd birthday Marsa! Oh, that little silly graph your husband made for you is so cheesy but incredible cute at the same time. He seems like such a sweet husband!!

    Happy Birthday Marsa!!!! :) Your hubby is so sweet!

    I know what you mean about Zara and not knowing their sizes. I wanted to so many times to order online but wasn't sure what size. So I had to try on a lot to know what fitted when I went to the store. Hopefully Seattle gets one soon so if you ever move here you will be near one! Or go to Cali for vaca. Haha..
