26?

26. Yep, I'm now on to my second 25 years. Weird. But hey, at least birthdays give me an extra excuse to really party it up! The night before my birthday we had dinner with friends Mike, Kayla, Micha and Evie, who bought us dinner and a birthday cake! They're so fun and thoughtful.

On the morning of my birthday, I went on a nice solo surf session. Then Shane surprised me at work bearing gifts! He is so nice and so cute; I was happy to get to show him off to everyone at work:) That night we went out to dinner with Alex, Morgan, and Iver - so fun.

The next day we went snowboarding!! Sarah, Bryant, Kyle, Shane, and I piled in a van and headed up to Big Bear, about an hour and half away. It was a dream. Finally it pays off to be from Idaho! I loved every second of the day. Shane did amazingly well, having only been a handful of times. Sarah and Bryant are new to the snow and are both catching on great (I won't mention Sarah lost control and came FLYING down the mountain at one point...and somehow came away alive. hilarious.) And Kyle is at the same level as me, so it was really fun to ride with him.
P.S. Be sure to notice my really hip 1989 red ski jumpsuit that I snagged from a Goodwill bin.
I love California. I love my friends. I love my husband! 2 days of awesomeness. Here's to life as a 26 year old!

OH man, this post made me very melancholy for my friend, Sally!!!! I miss you, I miss skiing (boarding) with you, and I miss(ed) your birthday. What kind of BFF does that? Anyway, I'm glad you had a blast. The point I am trying to make is.... I LOVE YOU. :) Happy 26th, Sal.
