A Quarter of a Century

Yesterday, I turned 25.  I won't bitch go into too much detail about how I spent my entire birthday grading the 1st years' assessment administrations.  But I did.  And it was one of the lamest birthdays to date.  

BUT!  As I was looking through pictures to post, I realized that even though yesterday was lame, I had a pretty good weekend ...

Went to The Post to watch the Cards beat LA

Headed to the Casino...where I made $3.52 off Dan's $20.
So really I made $23.52.  Boom.

For my birthday Dan made me pancakes!
And got me flowers.
And a card with a cow.

My family spoiled me.

I got lovely texts all day :)

I convinced Dan that I NEEDED a cookie dough blizzard
for having such a sad birthday. ;)

We ended the day cuddling with this cute dog.

And this morning I got myself a venti from sbux.
Because when you get a free birthday drink, you take advantage.

 I'm not sure, yet, how I feel about 25.  Ten years ago, I expected life to be pretty different than it is now.  ... I think.  I guess I don't really remember being 15...haha.

I think I am OK where I am, though.  It feels weird realizing I'm closer to 30 than 20, but life keeps getting better.  Before 30, I will be DONE with school, getting a big girl job, and starting a family, and I am ready for that stage.  ...

Just have to struggle through 25 the rest of grad school ;)
