I have left the teenage years behind me forever...and I can't say I'm sorry to see 'em go! They weren't all bad of course, but I think my 20's will be a million times better.
Yesterday was a lot of fun, especially spending time with a family from the church. I've gotten to know the two oldest girls quite well, and they are great. When we arrived at their house I was greeted with an alternate version of the Happy Birthday song by the youngest, and then presented with this:
She also made me chocolate rice krispie "buns" which were a true delight, and I got to wear this special pin:
I was spoiled rotten and given star treatment. Chocolate birthday cake with candles and lots of presents!
I have also learned that perfume is a popular gift here. Previously I've not really owned a lot of perfume, but since Christmas I have accumulated 4 bottles!
I felt really blessed to be loved by such wonderful and generous people here!
So all in all it was a great birthday...but when I woke up this morning I had some serious cold symptoms, and it was thundering outside, quite literally. So we'll have to see how this whole era goes...!

Happy Birthday! Sounds like you had a nice one. I loved my 20's. Old enough to play the 'grown-up' card...young enough to be immature whenever the impulse strikes. :)
Hope you'll be feeling better soon!
As for the perfume...maybe they're just hinting at something? haha. jjk. :P
Thanks a lot Beka! :P
Glad you had such a great day, Jill! You are being treated royally! Hope you get over your cold soon!
I'm sorry Jill, I didn't have the spark in me I required to write you something lovely. My apologies. I've been a little busy with, oddly enough, travel plans. However I hummed a tune to you the other day, so at least you know that III think you're special. Even if I don't proclaim it in song.
