25 Year Celebration

Yesterday I had myself a little celebration of my 25 year mark (and finishing those tests, too!). It was a blast. A simple breakfast of fruits, cranberry-orange bread, brie cheese, and blueberry pomegranate smoothies. A quick bit of studio time to whip up another scarf for me to wear and give as a gift---it is my sister's birthday tomorrow (that's her up there with me). A trip to visit her along with cake eating. There was some Mexican food in the mix there too and my celebration will continue at Second Storie .
At the end of the day I was happy with some new yarn and a cookbook in my hands, amongst other wonderful goodies. It really was the perfect day.

Again, thank you all for you encouragement along with way last week. I'm thrilled to be back to a bit more 'normal' life now (just a bit older!)

Happy Birthday, Jess. Twenty-five!? Wonderful, wonderful!

My 25th year was a monumental one for me - a period of great change, incredible growth and a real triumph. I hope your 25th brings you all good things, endless happiness and lots and lots of celebration.

Happy Birthday! It sounds like fun to have a little celebration with your sister...it makes me glad that my boys' bdays are one day apart, too. I think they'll enjoy it more when they're older and can celebrate together like you guys do.
