Last week, I turned 24. Although I know that I'm not yet old, I do feel like I've gotten to the age where I'm really not young anymore. Though that may seem like cause for worry to some, I really couldn't be more thrilled to have aged a year... likely because of how spoiled I was this year! My birthday started off with the most beautiful bouquet of flowers & a sunny picnic with D, followed by surprise supper with an intimate group of friends. The day after, my girlfriends treated me to a fancy dinner & equally fancy cookbooks, and we ended the evening with wine and chatter. To top it all off, D took me to Seattle on the weekend, where we explored new places & got to do a bit of shopping.
To say that it was wonderful would be an understatement. Turning a year older feels pretty sweet when you are blessed with amazing people in your life; here are a few highlights from the past few days.{a wonderful birthday picnic on an uncharacteristically hot September day}{spoiled rotten with birthday treats}{feel so blessed to call these ladies my friends}{timeless new earrings from D, displayed on a tray found at the Fremont Street Market in Seattle}
