cheers to twenty six

This past weekend I celebrated my twenty sixth birthday; although I think I'm still in denial about the whole situation.  I swear I just turned twenty five, as time just seems to be accelerating. It's humorous because I feel like just yesterday I was complaining about not being old enough for anything.  I would fight nap time, complain about rules, and wanted nothing more than to be my own boss.  Now I complain about not having enough naps and life not being as carefree and easy as it once was. Twenty six does have its perks however, as with this age I am able to throw a party with some of my favorite people and endless amounts of wine.  Although the day went nothing as planned, with only getting to see one winery and having the party bus become the actual party, I was so thankful to spend it with these people. Cheers to you guys for making twenty six so memorable!

Tis' the Season

I love to see couples tie the knot no matter what.  There's just something about that moment when the bride comes out that makes me whisper "I'm going to cry" every single time.  However, a summer night, a tree farm, oven roasted pizza, and an ice cream truck all make for the perfect wedding.  As I headed up the driveway to the location, I immediately knew how perfect the wedding was going to be. I started noting the things I liked as if Pinterest had come alive.  I love this season like it were supposed to be included in the other four.  If that was the case, it would without a doubt, be my number one.  This fact becomes obvious as I had to get dragged off the dance floor, not ready for the night to end. 

Taking the Next Step

A few weekends ago, Megan and I headed north to Cle Elum,Wa to celebrate our good friend Michelle's bachelorette party. We spent the whole weekend in a beautiful cabin dancing, eating, and reminiscing on our favorite moments with Michelle.  She is such a great girl and I'm so happy for her to take the next step! This was actually my first bachelorette party but I am already headed to another one next weekend. 

Congrats

Last night we went to downtown Vancouver and ate at a cute little Italian place called La Bottega, where the wine was endless.  Our reasoning was to celebrate Raven's graduation from nursing school! (She's the one in the glasses)  I am so proud and happy for her.  

December Birthdays

I feel like December is a month for a lot of my friends birthdays, even if there's probably only three.  This past weekend was this lady's 26th.  Although I've gotten to the point where I'm tired of growing older, we still go out and try to celebrate like we used to.  I feel like I'm talking like I'm much older than I am, but I definitely feel like a grandma now and all I want to do is be home in bed.  Our night didn't even last past midnight.  I get to go out and try again this weekend for another birthday celebration!

twenty four, you never looked so good

Well, it's my Birthday! Another year has come and gone and aside from the fact that I'm over getting older, I'm happy to be 24. I have this weird superstition that 23 is my unlucky number because 22 is my lucky one, so I was anticipating the worst year of my life.  The bad luck hit fast with my car's starter going out along with my brakes, then me wrecking my friends car I was borrowing because of mine not working, to that car's alternator giving up on me.  This was all because I was 23 of course.  The year sort of followed this pattern, but it wasn't all bad. However, I still won't be missing you, 23. Greetings and cheers to 24! May this year be better than the last, and I know it will since I have nothing against 24.
