a new year, a new leaf

I'm writing to you a whole year older,

that's right.. today is...

MY BIRTHDAY!

my eighteenth birthday actually,

so that means I'm a legal adult.

I don't feel any different.

I mean, this morning I woke up the same way..

I was laying in bed when Ms. Impatient started barking

(don't worry I'm talking about the dog, not my sister!)
and I now have my beautiful puppy under my feet
(favoritism - yes)

The same thing I did yesterday. 

But there's one difference.

I've decided that I'm another year older

and I'm going to change how I do some things.

You might have noticed the numbers in my title are missing.

They're gone! Too boring!

Today I'm going to make the most of my birthday

and then I'll be getting straight into working on some exciting new projects,

because being eighteen brings responsibility! 

and for me, responsibility brings opportunity :)

I'll be working with new clients, 

improving my photography (or at least hoping to!),

starting some exciting things on my blog

and growing and learning with every day that comes.

And in other news, 

I'm finished my trial exams!

They weren't all that bad (just incredibly boring)

Now I just have to wait til October so I can finish school forever!

 

But tell me, 

Do you have any birthday traditions?
and what do you think about the numbers - yay or nay?

I'm thinking i'm going to start a new tradition..

Waffles for lunch, anyone?
