Whad'ya Know! I'm 25!

Sooo...on September 28th, I turned 25! This one was seriously on of the best birthdays I've ever had. I always get really nervous when my birthday is near because I had a string of 5 or 6 birthdays on which really crappy things happened. These days, I just hope for a birthday without disaster and don't really expect anything great...I know...slightly pessimistic and kinda sad, right? This birthday, I enjoyed a day with NO disasters and instead had a great day (or couple of days) with family and friends. It was great! On my actual birthday, Jake invited some people to dinner at BJ's. There were about 15 of us and it was fun and no fuss! Perfect!











The next day (Tuesday), we did a family thing. All of my siblings, except Diane, were able to come. Jacob and his 2 little boys came too. We had dinner and did the birthday cake thing and just hung out for a bit. Then, we all decided to go to a park that Daniel had found on one of his runs. It is Fontana Park; you should seriously check it out! It has a ship to play on and a tower, lots of little bug toys to climb on, etc. We now call it the "Alice in Wonderland Park" because the caterpillars, snails, ladybugs, etc. are painted in really bright colors...kinda psychadelic and very cool! We all played there, grown-ups and kids alike, for quite awhile and it was lots of fun!
