My ACTUAL birthday

I wake up each morning and give thanks for yet another day. Yesterday was no different, but of course, had to be extra thankful for another year. 25 was a blast and brought SO much to my life. I learned a lot, experienced so many new things (intended and unintended), and most importantly (ref: Work out plan) I grew more. I think one of the biggest things I realized is that the people I thought would be there for certain parts of my journey might not be, to cherish the relationships I have when I have them, and to not be afraid to let them go when it it time to do so. Now that all that is out of the way...let's talk about my yesterday...

I waited on Comcast ALL.DAY.LONG. Seriously my 8-11 appointment came and went and since I didn't get a phone call, I thought they were a no show. But apparently- Tech 3252 came and went and never dialed my nimba (ref: Plies). So after several conversations with them, I made it known that they killed my day and that I really did hate them. But on the brightside I got some things done that I've been meaning to work on since the move. I spruced up my bathroom with a little design and I hacked my dresser. Ok, so I was going to toss out these drawers I'd bought from Ikea some time ago because I was really tired of them. But then I got introduced to Ikea Hacking which is basically when people turn Ikea things into DIY projects. I loved the white and dark wood contrast look and the yellow knobs match the yellow accents in my bedroom. I love it. I am also making it a nightstand instead of a dresser. I'm pretty proud of myself, and now that I can work the drill, I'm unstoppable.


I finished the evening at Happy Hour with a small group. As always it was entertaining. And as I left, I ran into a familiar face which solidifed my suspicion that God was pulling an Ashton for the past few days who treated me to birthday cupcakes from my fav cupcakery.

Minus the comcast situation- I had an AWESOME BIRTHDAY! And since there are still some gifts to come, I know it isn't over. 26 is starting off fabulously...can't wait to see what's next.
