a birthday post

i hit my mid twenties last month.

wut?

everyone felt the need to let me know that next year i will probably have a quarter life crisis and assured me that was totally normal. i sure hope not. i think i am just going to dwell on all the things i am thankful for instead. such as,

not having wrinkles yet.
good friends and family.
music.
dogs.
coffee.
warm weather.
adventure.
moving.
weddings.
my bible.
my Jesus.
coffee. (did i say that already oh well.)

such a good year though, full of so many lessons that were hard at the time but i am thankful for now. thats the trick to remember when you're in the middle of a mess! some day you will look at this and be thankful for all the things you were taught. God is so faithful and he has a plan for your life. your job is to trust.

here are some snaps of my birthday!

 tradition insists i wear my favorite things, even if they are ripped.^^
