I'm 24 now...

It's been a great birthday!

I spent three days in Long Beach at the State Youth Conference with 16 teenagers...needless to say, I have no voice right now.

I had my birthday bash last night, and I was surprised by my parents showing up! They flew down to surprise me, and it's been fun.

Tonight, I'm in Northridge with family and friends, watching "24" (introducing a friend to the show--hoping to get him hooked...and it's working!)

It's been a great birthday...an incredibly busy week...and I'm content :)
