The big 2-5.
This post is actually after the fact... I turned 25 on the 25th of February, and now, we're approaching the 25th of March. How does this happen?! I can recall my mom saying, "Time starts to move very quickly after you graduate from high school." Very true, mom, very true.
For as quickly as time seems to be passing, I must say that 25 feels pretty great. God has been extremely good, I'm happily married, wonderful friends and family, and my hair is only slightly more gray than last year (thanks for those genes, dad), and Jon and I are just a few short months away from embarking on the next, great Pagan migration :) Yes. 25, I welcome you. You're alright.
To celebrate my birthday, Jon made the house look amazing, then topped our Friday off with dinner AND cake. On Saturday, we spent the morning playing hex on the subway into DC (if you haven't played hex, it is really fun, and a little frustrating for those of us who aren't exactly gifted strategists), and wandering around the American History Museum until it was time to meet Adrienne and Danial for dinner at the Front Page -- one of my favorite restaurants.
Here are some of the highlights from the birthday weekend:
Breakfast of champions
Stradivarii (apologies, it's a little dark)
Ruby Slippers!
Joe Louis' boxing gloves (every time I hear "Joe Louis," I think of Coming to America)
Creepy doll, the puffy shirt from Seinfeld, Sid Caesar's hat, and Oscar the Grouch
Edison's early light bulb models
