Quarter of a Century!

Yesterday, May 3, I had my 25th Birthday!  First of all, I can't believe I am actually 25 and second, this means I am 5 years from being 30.  It's kind of a weird moment because sometimes I feel like I am still 17.  Anyway, I had a great birthday!  

Brett and I woke up early because he had a call for work.  We went to our favorite donut shop up the street and bought our chocolate twists and donut holes.  When we came back to the house, Brett goes and comes out of the spare bedroom with flowers and a birthday bag.  I was definitely surprised and my flowers are very beautiful! Brett is very clever about hiding surprises from me, but when it comes to hiding what he ate like his In 'N Out bags, not so much. ;)

I had told Brett in the days leading up to my birthday that I only wanted two things, a Cath Kidston Bag (shout out to Tanya) and an Ice Cream Birthday Cake from Baskin Robbins.  Well, I ordered my bag 10 days ago from London and it still hasn't come so when Brett pulled out this birthday bag from the spare bedroom, I didn't know what it possibly could be.  Inside were three Avery Dennison binders and a new book!  I had to laugh at Brett because he likes to pull these kind of pranks on me when his company gives some of their new prototypes away (you should have seen Christmas with the 10 different journals he gave me from the Martha Stewart collection).  Now I can print all our pictures from London and our Mediterranean Cruise and put them in these binders! Woohoo! Thank you, Brett!

Later on for my birthday dinner, I met up with Brett and my brother Dave (who was in town this week for business) at El Torito Grill.  We ordered their guacamole appetizer (so good) and our entrees and this time I decided to try the shrimp enchiladas.  They were really yummy! After a great dinner, we came back to our home, played with Sparky, and ate my ice cream cake.  My cake had mint chocolate chip ice cream with chocolate cake and lots of frosting which is just the way I like it.

I really had a great birthday and am thankful for all the birthday wishes and gifts from family and friends through calls, texts, Instagram, and Facebook.  I think 25 will be a great year and I'm sure it will be full of new adventures.  :)
