dos cinco!

 Feliz cumpleanos to me, ladies and gentlemen. On Monday, the 15th, your girl turned 25. I celebrated with a full day of work followed by dinner at Sweet Mandarin with Kyle and carrot cake with family and friends. They sang me the sweetest off-key rendition of Happy Birthday that I've ever heard.
  This new age has brought me tons of happiness and excitement. For once, I can honestly say I am thrilled to start this new chapter in my life, as cliche as that sounds. Want to know the super extra exciting news? Kyle asked me to move in! The fact that I have my own little home now to love, take care of, and grow in hasn't officially sunk in yet but its slowly becoming more real to me and I'm loving it. I'm sure something as simple as doing the dishes or Swiffer-ing the whole house will get old eventually but right now? I'm more than happy to do it all. This is the healthiest happiest thing to ever happen to me and I want to take care of this house, Kyle, Scott (our roomate!), and Sprocket (our pup!) in the best way I can. We're super busy this week with Kyle's birthday being tomorrow and getting ready for our double birthday party on Saturday so I probably won't be able to officially start moving all my stuff in until Sunday afternoon.
   Obviously, I have done what any girl would do, and have spent all morning e-window shopping online browsing sites like Anthropologie. Is it so bad to maybe purchase myself one little thing? It would be in celebration, you know? It only seems right. ;)
