Hey friends!
My 25th birthday was at the end of October and yes I know this post is super late but I really wanted to share it with you!
Birthdays are always so special and this one was even more important because of this blog. Life of Hayley began as a way for me to document the 25 things I wanted to accomplish before turning 25. I started blogging right after my 20th birthday and it really evolved from there into a hobby that I love.
I had been simultaneously looking forward to and dreading my 25th birthday for the past couple of months. I wasn’t worried about reaching my goals that I set for myself when I was 20. In fact, I haven’t been worried about those goals in years. I’m proud of how far I’ve come and all I have accomplished in the past five years. I’m looking forward to the next five!
So let’s talk about why this birthday was so Legendary with a capital L.
Have you heard of John Legend? Well, my work throws some pretty sweet parties and for their 20th Anniversary Gala they invited John Legend as the surprise musical guest and the Gala happened to fall on my birthday! Which meant that I got to get all dressed up in black tie apparel, get my hair and makeup done, and spend the evening eating, drinking, and singing along to John Legend with Brett and my favorite co-workers. Talk about Legendary!
I couldn’t think of a better way to start my 25th year!
Thanks so much for reading!

It really was Legendary hahahaha. My work tried to keep the musical guest a surprise but they put Legendary all over the invitations so we kind of figured.
Thank you!! Hopefully I have many more ahead. š
