19 Candles in my sugar-fat-oil-free-chocolate-brownie cake

Yesterday was my birthday.
19 years gone, 19 years lived.
I always liked the month of September, change happens during September.
The air gets cooler, the days get shorter, people snuggle up closer
- it's a nice break from the 3 month
block of overwhelming heat and humidity called Summer.
Not a huge fan of humidity, big fan of my birthday though.
I had a birthday weekend of sorts and I am more certain now than ever before that I have
some of the most loving people known to creation in MY life!

And so the birthday weekend of sorts begins with a night filled with silly
shenanigans around downtown Kirkland:











Day 2 of birthday weekend was unfortunately not documented =(
we won't make that mistake again.
But to fill you in- I got a haircut, manicure and pedicure.
And what the heck, I'll just include
a random picture for consistencies sake...


I searched "Life" in DeviantArt and this beauty popped up.
I like it. It's happy. Check out the original image here


Day 3: Birthday day is here!
I woke up that morning having forgotten
that it was my birthday.
Who knew that at 19 my
memory would start to go.
ANYWAYS
It began with a nice breakfast and church with friends,
it ended with a late lunch at my teammates cousins' house where her parents cooked for us.
follow that? =)











They baked for me! I didn't even expect it!
And it was such a nice surprise

19th birthday, down. How many "th's" to go, unknown.
Time spent on Earth thus far, precious.
