So I recently celebrated my 24th birthday...I say recent, but it was really a month ago...I am so slow with the blogging thing! Anyway, it was a good birthday. I spent the weekend at a Christian Women's Retreat and had a great time relaxing, meeting new people, and getting away from all of life's stresses for a little while.
I didn't ask for anything really, but I got a loaf of freshly made sourdough bread from my favorite bakery, some scented bath salts and soaps, a cute penguin towel, a wonderful dark chocolate cake with cool whip icing, and a stuffed animal penguin from Port Lockroy in ANTARCTICA! (Yep, a co-worker got to go to Antarctica for 2 weeks last month!)
I don't feel that much older, although I realize how fast time is flying by. I plan to not let 24 go by as fast as 23 did...I want to enjoy the little things more and be grateful for my job (I am so, so blessed to do something I love) and my friends (they are so supportive) and my family (a little goofy but I love them all) and all that God gives to me (too numerous to list).
