Quarter of a Century

I had the most absolutely amazing birthday this year! I've been freaking out about turning 25 for some reason, but I think I am over that mostly. Chris woke me up with breakfast made, tulips, and a sweet card on the table. I had mentioned that I would like to do some random acts of kindness on my birthday, so he had put cash in the card so I could give out lots of money to the homeless paper people...too bad I didn't see any of them the WHOLE day. That just means I will get to do it for a few days. I had to go to work, but my coworkers got me a card, cookies, and a cute book. Even though I am so new, they have all done everything they can to make me feel welcome! After work, we went to birthday dinner with my parents at the Old Spaghetti Factory downtown. It was so yummy!

 

After dinner we headed back to our apartment for presents and cake. Dad took pictures on my new camera for me and I love the way they turned out! Can't wait to learn how to use it!



 

Chris got me the coolest present! We get to go to a private food and wine cooking class for just the two of us! I am super excited to do it and I think I really like the idea of getting trips or experiences than presents. I'm hoping this is a tradition we keep up in the future!

 

I even got a card from Zeppelin that said, "You're how old? Wow, in dog years that's like...nevermind." Too funny!

 

Of course I had my favorite birthday cake! I had to miss out on it last year because of crohns, but it was just as amazing as I remembered! Yummy!

 

 

I got a super cute shirt from Michelle, so I changed while my cake was thawing. I was able to blow out all the candles at once!

 

My family never ceases to amaze me with making me feel so incredibly special on my birthday. This was truly one of my best, and that's saying something because I have had some pretty spectacular ones! Here's to my quarter of a century year!
