things are sweeter at 27

hi all. thanks SO much for the birthday wishes! Everyone has been so sweet, leaving me messages on facebook, myspace, etc, etc. I feel so loved! 26 was a great year. I can't wait to see what 27 holds. Of course, I still feel like i'm a teenager sometimes...

My dad wrote me the most thoughtful e-mail today. He just kept saying how proud he was of me, and what a joy I am to him. It made me so happy....and it also made me realize that no matter how many mistakes I've made along the way, someday I'll have my own kids to feel that way about. It feels great to have such loving families (both my parents and in-laws!)

Today was the most beautiful day of the week this year! It is currently 73 degrees, sunny, no wind, and not a cloud in the sky. We started the day by going to the RHCC 10:30 service, had lunch at Zoe's (you must go if you haven't!) with my good friend Catherine and her daughter Corinne....then we took Moby to the dog park all afternoon. What a gorgeous day to be outside! I'm missing family and friends in Nebraska...though i got a few voicemail messages and LOTS of birthday cards that definitely brightened my day!
Thanks for making this a very special birthday! Love you all! xoxo
