So today I’m another year older. Its funny how people used to tell me “just wait until you’re not excited about your birthday any more”. I never used to believe them, of course not. How could you not be excited about all the cake and presents that come with your special day? Well, I rest my case. I’m still as excited.

I can’t believe its a year ago since I celebrated the big 2-1 in Las Vegas. The past year has bought so many changes to my life, but each of them I have embraced. I’ll be celebrating all weekend, starting with a trip to my favourite little pub in Christchurch. Here’s to being another year older!
