Another Year Older

Another year has flown by and apparently you can really tell in my face. A man from work stopped by my office- which was full of all kinds of fun goodies from co-workers- and said, "So you're 29 this year, huh?" Through the sting of that burn, I managed to muster up enough attitude to correct him and let him know he was a few years off.

I am not one of those people that get a kick out of growing older like my sister does. I absolutely hate getting older. The changes in my body and lines in my face totally freak me out, but since there is nothing I can do about it, I try not dwell too much on it.

I will say that my birthdays have become much more fun since I married Matt though. He always goes above and beyond to make it special.

First he sent me flowers at work.

After work, we dined at my favorite Thai restaurant with my parents.

Then we ate the delicious red velvet vegan cupcakes he picked up for me at Sprinkles.

Tucker helped me open my many fun gifts.

Matt did an exceptional job at finding my favorite winter goodies at J-Crew.

And I even got a Fortune Tee. I've wanted one of these for like 10 years! (It's inside the little take-out box)

My parents also went out of their way to make this day special and got me some awesome presents too.

Thank you mom, dad, and Matt for making it a great 27th birthday.
