1/4 x 100

Well, I am now officially 25 years old! I am wondering if I have now reached the point where I will look forward to my birthdays less and less as the years go by . . . .

Nah, I don't think so; birthdays are too much fun!

Tom made me this Oatmeal Cake from scratch. It was his first cake-baking experience ever, and it turned out PERFECT! Yumm! I am really not a cake person, but this cake (a family favorite) is an exception to the rule, and if I'm going to have cake on my birthday, this is the one.

I walked outside our apartment to go to work in the morning and found this message waiting for me! It totally made my day! And I was quite impressed by Tom's artistic abilities.

Right before midnight, I decided we had better take a picture, 

just so I could remember how I looked on the day I turned 25.

Taking flattering pictures of ourselves is obviously still a work in progress . . .

Yay for birthdays! Cheers!
