24 things...

Hey there!!! Buenos dias!! I'm feelin' A-Okay! :) I had a fantastic birthday yesterday!!! I'm apparently 24 now... so I'll see how different this new year of my life will turn out than the previous years. On Sunday, my mommy made me my FAVORITE dinner - chicken stir fry w/ Chocolate Cream Pie for Dessert (and I could actually have some w/o it being picked at... haha! you know who you are ;) - and Monday evening I had fun @ FHE beating up on a Piñata of Dora the Explorer (revenge is sweet muahahaha!!) *ahem* anyways, I got some good gifts and cards from friends and family and had an enjoyable birthday and would like to thank all those who helped to make that possible :)

So, as evidenced by the title of this blog, there are 24 things I'd like to list that I am thankful for - the catchy thing, is that it will be one thing from each year of my life - oooooooooo!! I know, slick, eh? Okay, well, probably not, but whatever:
