that feeling of anticipation when you pull up to your driveway and see a package waiting to be opened? that was me today.

5.5 inches of pure happiness

this weekend we celebrated tim’s 26th birthday at the mondrian hotel and skybar. what a spectacular room, perfect for a hotel party. the alice in wonderland like atmosphere at the hotel’s restaurant, asia de cuba, and amazing city views at skybar really made his bday special–plus all his buddies that showed up, plus the 9 bottles we killed between about 20 people, plus tim’s yakalicious morning. lohdy lohd. i never trust alcohol + camera gear so i didn’t get to snap many pics. no worries, i’ll be back one day.
