Hello, big world.: 26 and Feelin' Fine

I can hardly believe it's true, but it's time to face the facts: I'm 26. I know most of you out there are rolling your eyes and thinking, "26 is nothing. You're so young." But it feels like a milestone, like I hit the top of the roller coaster and the rest of my twenties will be all loops and stomach-plunging drops. I'm sure I'm overreacting, but oh well.

My birthday was fantastic. On Friday night I got dressed up for a nice dinner date at an undisclosed location (Kevin loves the suspense of keeping me in the dark). We headed back to our table to discover - a cabana full of eight of my very favorite people from different groups of friends, there to celebrate with us! It was fantastic and an amazing surprise. Delicious dinner, fun conversations and our own personal soundtrack (Cabana has hookups in the booths so you can plug in your iPod and listen as you choose!) made for a wonderful celebration. Thank you guys for sharing the night with me!
