Leila here!
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the sweet birthday wishes :)
My day was awesome. I couldn’t do much with my girlfriends, cuz my b-day fell on a Tuesday (I know, right?!) But the boyfriend hooked it up in a major way.
My job gives employees the day off on their birthday, so I got a chance to chill/sleep in before I drove up to Chicago to chill with the bf.
Okay… are there any sneaker enthusiasts out there? Of the hipster variety?
The bf hooked me up with two new pairs of Nike dunks!!!! I am a dunk collector and I was TOO excited!!! They’re really dope and I can’t wait to wear them. I also got a practical gift — speakers for my laptop, lol.
I also got a call from Jamaica, a lady from my old church who is in charge of the “birthday ministry”, lol! Guess my name’s still on the list :)
I’ll get a chance to celebrate more with family and friends this weekend and later in the month. But I did feel appreciated and loved on my b-day. And it feels great to be 24!
