whoo hoo!

friends, i'm 26 today! hmph...i'm officially over a quarter of a century old.
i'd like to take this moment to share that i'm so thankful for this past year... even amid societal turmoil it was personally the best i've ever had. :) it just feels so good to have a goal for my future, someone who cares for, understands, and forgives me, friends who I love with all of my heart, and a faith community that really strives to live out it's commitments. (not to mention a historic presidential event). i'm a really blessed/lucky/thankful gal.



for my birthday last year (2007 = not such a great year personally, btw) we went square dancing in a church basement to celebrate (which i HIGHLY recommend!), but this year Boone and I are waiting a week and going on an adventure in the shenandoah valley! either way i'm a happy girl (and either way involves bluegrass music! hooray!)
