Today I turned 26.
Today I turned that age. You know, that age. The age you dream about when you are little. The age that you think, "Once I get to ____, then I'm a real adult."
That age, is this age.
I am now officially on the other side of my 20's.
But you know what...
If today was any indication of what my 26 will be like, then I am going to have one hell of a great year. I literally had the best birthday a girl could ask for. Thanks in complete part to my sweet man of a husband.
Yesterday (not even my birthday mind you) The Man took me shopping! Ladies, I know...incredible right!? I timidly picked out two dresses and a pair of shoes, but after much cheering on of my husband, I confidently walked them to the counter where The Man proudly paid. I was in heaven. He then took me out to Mohawk Bend for dinner simply to give me an excuse to show off my new duds.
[He couldn't sleep from sheer excitement]
We quickly got dressed so that my husband could give me my birthday present he had been waiting weeks to give me
...wait for it...
J A C K W H I T E T I C K E T S !!
Ahhh!!!
I cannot contain the excitement this brought me. I literally cannot wait.
Then we headed to none other than Figaro Cafe for a quick bite before church. After church The Man took me to the Huntington Library, a place I have wanted to see ever since I've been in L.A.
We walked the grounds, checked out Johannes Gutenberg's original Bible, and cat napped under a shady tree..as well as watched Tornado videos on Youtube...dont ask...
Then, just as I thought my birthday couldn't get any better, The Man surprised me with a special Happy Birthday dinner at Malo with all of our closest friends.
How great is he!!??
They showered me with such thoughtful gifts. I am more than grateful.
I do not deserve this life, but thanks be to Jesus, am I right!?
Here are some snaps from our day.
PS: 26, you have been good to me. I look forward to my other 364 days with you.
