twentysix.

Thank you for all of the sweet birthday wishes. Makes turning 26 pretty good. :) Although Dave can't be here to celebrate with me, I did get a lovely wake up call. Also, it's the last day of school!!! What a birthday gift, huh? After class, I'll be heading to Chevy's with my lovely classmates to celebrate my birthday and our last day of school. It won't be a late night for me though. I have to get back to the bay tonight so that I can be in SF by 9am tomorrow wide awake. None of that "ugh... I can't move and feel sick" feeling for this girl! I'll be going to Watsonville tomorrow morning to watch my friends jump out of the sky (I've chosen to stay on the ground for my second day as a 26 year old) and then lunching it up in Santa Cruz depending on the weather. My parents are out of town until tomorrow afternoon visiting family so we'll be celebrating as a family tomorrow night. Next week, the celebrations will continue with dinner with some of my favorite people and... you guessed it... more packing! I'm so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life to celebrate with.

And just in case you were wondering what newborn baby Maria looked like...
