On this brisk fall/winter morning, I wanted to remember–to be thankful for the wonderful 25th birthday celebration I had. Here’s the run-down: The Friday before my birthday, my husband’s family took us out to dinner, enjoyed dessert at our home, and showered me with gifts. I’m really looking forward to using my cake decorating tips! […]
The One with 25 Things
In belated honor of my 25th birthday which was yesterday (which I didn’t fully grasp until I actually wrote the date down around 10:15pm…), I have decided to share Twenty-five Things I’m Thankful for in my Twenty-five Years of Life.

What a privilege it is to be included in the inner circle of a wedding. Witness to the covenant. Participants in the covenant, […]
The One with the Rain
