September 30

I turned 25. Spending the entire day surrounded by people I care about and who care about me, plus all of the phones calls, texts, emails, and facebook messages made it a wonderful birthday. Knowing that so many people wanted me to have a good day made me feel warm and fuzzy down to the very center. The phrase I kept repeating throughout the day: "I really love my birthday." I started the day a little annoyed as I had to get up at 6:00 am to get some work done, but as soon as I saw my study carrel I immediately became excited for a day of celebration. Thank you Emily and Danielle.
Calories don't count on your birthday, and I took full advantage. Birthday lunch at Flour Girls and Dough Boys.

Birthday dinner at Martine.

It's the first birthday for which I had to buy more than one package of candles (they come in 24s). I did manage to blow out all 25 in one go because luckily I was practicing all day.

My brother came down from SLC. This was the only normal pic of MANY.

Thank you to everyone who came for cake, and thank you to Steve for supplying the birthday hats.

I received many wonderful gifts, including this gorgeous bouquet from Rachel. I'm not modest about it--I love presents!
