Birthday List (26)

It sounds like there should be a blizzard going on outside it is SO windy and cold! I am not sure if I am ready for that though. I am thinking it would be ok to come home from Europe to piles of snow on the ground though:) I honestly have to keep reminding myself that I am leaving the country! I have never done that before! Seriously! Holy CRAP! IT IS HAPPENING! I am so thankful for the opportunity!

This past weekend I celebrated my 27th birthday! It was a great birthday spent with family! Wine lots of wine and delicious homemade food from my Mom! SO GOOD! She is such an amazing cook! I wanted to post pictures, but I forgot my camera at my parents!

Here are a few from my phone.

I LOVE her smile!

They are all so darn cute!

A sweet birthday package that I just got in the mail today from Maggie! 

We have an owl thing, and these glasses are so cute! I love them! She also gave me bath salts from Lolia in the scent Close! I'm taking that scent of lotion to Europe with me! Love Lolia!

Remember my birthday list from last year? It's a bucket list of the things I want to accomplish in the next year! Here is my last years list and how I did!
