My birthday was last Thursday, and I am officially 26 years (+4 days) old. We've been celebrating all weekend long....or in other words...eating the best food and having way too many desserts! (from here, here & here, to name a few) We also had pancakes for breakfast yesterday, and I was wishing I had about ten more sets of my "26" number sparklers. So much fun.
I'm excited to see what this new year brings. So far so good! I think 26 has a lot of potential, and I've never set my hopes so high. Don't let me down, twenty-six.
**Other weekend activities included: hiking, going to the movies, eating cupcakes on the beach, doing some birthday shopping, going to church, and Aaron & I staying up late reminiscing and telling stories. That last one was my favorite.
Although a little late - happy birthday! Mine's today, 22! A lot of bloggers had birthdays lately, it's really nice. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your dress!

girl, those pancakes look ridiculously good. i'm so glad we were able to catch up this weekend. it's been too too long! can't wait for all the amazing stuff you're going to do. twenty-six is definitely the year. and p.s. i'm dying for that hair tutorial. although i fear my hair needs to grow a bit.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday! I just love your dress :)
ReplyDeletefrom one Gemini to another...happy birthday ;)
ReplyDeletehappy happy birthday!
ReplyDeletehappy happy birthday!!! i loveee that dress! So cute!
ReplyDeleteA happy belated birthday! That dress is so fun! I always love your photography - each post has such amazing eye candy. Unfortunately my internet is kind of slow and so it takes a good 5-10 minutes for your whole blog to load. Since your photos are so beautiful, it's like I'm being taunted as I wait. I noticed that your pictures are saved a lot bigger than they probably need to be, so it might help to scale them or save for the web if you haven't been so your blog would load faster. I only mean this as a helpful tip and hope it doesn't come across in any other way. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish you a happy belated birthday! My birthday was on Saturday and it was a great weekend, too. I wish, I had number sparklers like you, they are beautiful!
