I was born on 4/4/85, weighing 4 lbs. here are a few bits and pieces of my 27th birthday…
My mom came to visit on 4/3 (my brother’s birthday!) and we had cake and ate lunch outside an old train car.

It all started with homemade apple cinnamon pancakes and scrambled eggs, made by husband.

My parents gave me this sweet little ring I had been eyeing on etsy. oui!

My awesome co-workers brought me flowers, a skim latte, and a giant cereal buffet including every kind of topping from pomegranate seeds to chocolate chips. Because cereal might be my favorite food.

Husband rode our orange scooter to come visit me for lunch, and brought club sammies with homemade white bean hummus, avocado, red onion, and sprouts. Topped off with mint tea and eaten under shady trees.

Then I got more flowers! From Mom and Dad.

For dinner (again, chef husband) shrimp with brown rice and avocado, arugula salad, and a hard apple cider. yummmmm.

Homemade blueberry cupcakes with lemon cream cheese frosting and a Happy Birthday serenade…

Not impressed.

The day ended with drinks at a local dive bar, and this card that made me cry. What a great birthday.

I got so many sweet cards, phone calls, texts, gifts, and messages from friends near and far away. I’m not sure that I have ever felt so special and loved. Here’s to another year to come of happy moments and tears, silly mistakes and great successes, countless desserts, sunshine and rain, and untold adventures. <3
