"Quarter of a Century"

Today I turn 25.

This is one birthday that I have been totally okay with, I have plans with my friends for a fun, not crazy, night out. Singing some karaoke and munching appetizers.

This is the first b-day celebration my sister, Jessica, will attend.

I have the most wonderful boyfriend, who worked in cahoots, with my bestie to delivery a card-a-day during my bday week. They were all hilarious!

I woke-up to my beautiful daughter inches from my face, screaming HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mama (according to TM when she woke up at 4am (she was calling him through the monitor), she asked him "is it time yet?"-- HOW SWEET is she!!!)

Best way, hands down, to wake-up on my 25th birthday.

I asked for an ironing board and blower... received BOTH! E helped me open my blower.

TM bought everything needed to make my favorite breakfast: Banana pancakes and bacon! Love him. Breakfast will be enjoyed tomorrow when E can enjoy with us. She is in "summer camp" at her school during the week, M-F, 9-2.

I AM OFF WORK on Friday's -- I AM SPENDING MY 25TH RELAXING IN MY CHAIR (I did run to the store to get E some much needed shorts, shes a 4T now!), watching the Casey Anthony Trial. BLISS.

Basically this has been the best birthday I have had in 25 years. I have never been happier with my life, it makes me excited to celebrate many more bdays this way. This officially tops 2006 (If you were present, you know what Im talking about).

**EDIT
TM & My mom BOTH got me two (totaling 4) new charms for my Pandora bracelet. Mom got a swirly one with purple stones and a flowery one with black stones. TM got me an ELEPHANT (!!) and a house... b/c my house is now a home & he is thankful to be a part of this family. :-)
