a happy birthday! hello, 25.

 yesterday was a most splendid day. the sun was shining, and i was surrounded by people who love me most. i really didn't want it to end! it began rather early, (as i often like to start my days) with strong coffee, and with mom pulling out photo albums of my early childhood.

man, those were the days.

i remember for every birthday, my brother and i would wake to find streamers and balloons hanging in our doorways. it was my favorite thing ever. it's all in the details. <3

i wanted to show you my new hair do!! (and new sunglasses...thank you hubby:)) according to my hairstylist, the curl will loosen (a lot) after i wash it tomorrow. which is good, because i just want a touch of wavy. either way, changes are so much fun!

avery park (in corvallis) is so special to me. the hubby and i would spend hours and hours studying here during our days at osu. and, this is also where he proposed! so it was nice to spend some time there yesterday.

i've been thinking (a lot) about goals, and what i'd like to accomplish over the next year. the list is growing, friends! i'll share that soon:)

happy day.
