happy day

I had a very happy birthday this past Monday -- thanks for all of the sweet wishes!  I feel very loved.

clockwise from top right: early morning pastries+coffee from Blake, AMAZINGly yummy homemade cupcakes from cousin Millie, one of many sweet birthday gifts, and a post-pastry walk with the dog.  

all around, it was a great day!  I'm so thankful that I had it free, because as of yesterday, I'm back in school for the semester.  I have 100 pages of my Med-Surg book to read.... over & out.
