twenty-five

i turned 25 this month...
and it was a wonderful day:

*cards from thoughtful family*

*delicious fruit from my lovelies*

*an oh, so relaxing pedicure & starbucks with a wonderful friend*

*yummy candy from a friend who's more like family*

*chocolate cakes from my moms*chili and cinnamon rolls*granite city*chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream from my daddy*a fall scented candle i burn every day*lots of birthday wishes on fb and through text*

can you tell everyone knows i have a serious sweet tooth?!

it isn't so bad to be a quarter of a century, as my dad so sweetly pointed out.

nevermind that he's nearly half a century. i'll be sure to remind him when the time comes. 

thank you so much to everyone who took the time to make my day special.

it means a lot.

really, it does.
