Today I am 26 years old. No longer in my "low twenties" but just a smidge above straight "mid-twenties." Typically, I am with my family on my birthday. Since I moved to Seattle they have either flown up here to celebrate with me, or, as in the past 2 years, N and I have flown down for a weekend in Cali to rejoice in my birth. This year, however, both my family and I are doing so much separate traveling that I decided to stay here in Seattle and just my siblings will be coming to visit this weekend. My mom and dad have always made me feel so special on this day. And just because they are 1,200 miles away- they haven't changed a bit. This was delivered to my office earlier this morning:

Talk about major swoon! They are just the best :) Tonight, N and I are going to try a local Seattle favorite that we have never been to before (read: Steelhead Diner) and I'm hoping we get a seat with a view so we can watch the PNW sunset during our meal. In the meantime, I get to stare at these beauties from my boo:

 

My office is turning into a garden, I tell you! HUGE thanks to all of you who make me feel special everyday by reading this blog :) XO
