A Quarter of a Century

Yes that is me! I turned 25 on Saturday! It was a great day too. Doug made me french toast, eggs & hot chocolate for breakfast. Yummy! Doug is the greatest husband ever. He was kind enough to endulge my fettish for purses.

(Isn't it cute? I love it!)

That afternoon I got to go to a BiRthDaY LunCHeOn for my friend Crescent. I think she is the only person I know that has the same birthday. The lunch was over at our friend Kendra's and was a lot of fun! There was a lot of delicious food! Megan made us these cute little crowns to wear. So cute!


That night we went to Olive Garden with Steph & Travis. Who wouldn't want tasty breadsticks & salad on their birthday? :) I know I sound like all I do is eat, "but it's my birthday & I'll eat if I want to." :)

Steph & Travis Evans


We went back to the Evans' home & a bunch of friends came over for cake & ice cream & a great round of Mafia!

I just want to do a big shout out to all my friends & family near & far for making my birthday wonderful! Thank you for the calls, cards, texts, packages, gifts & kindness. It meant the world to me!

You know I share a fetish for adorable handbags and my dear- you got quite the bag!!! It reminds me of those Neapolitan Candies I used to eat when I was little. Happy Quarter of a Century! I'm terrified for mine! Can't wait to see you! Hope you enjoyed your package!
