Good-bye twenties

Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday last week via text, email, phone, and facebook. It was a great day. I started the morning with a 35 minute run, which may not seem very impressive. But I have been working up to this since May and am so excited that I have managed to stick with it all summer. And it's all thanks to Gwen for the jogging stroller, Boo for dragging me out of bed every morning, and Indiana for having the most beautiful, mild summer.

Boo was extra good the day of my birthday. We had a fun playgroup in the morning (thanks Elizabeth!), I talked to all of my siblings throughout the day, and got to spend some extra time reading. And then J came home from work...with a babysitter and reservations to a new Italian place. We had a fabulous dinner, and the perfect chocolate torte for dessert. Afterwards J even took me shopping for a new handbag, which is truly no fun for him, so thanks hon.
