27

Here I am, 27 years old. The day wasn't especially remarkable, but I'm a little old for it to be, aren't I? As Don told Peggy, "You're twenty... something years old! Get over birthdays!" But I did get a few treats.

First, the picture above shows Ramona and I eating the pancake and bacon birthday breakfast Joe made for me this morning. It also shows that we really need a new couch. Then we had french onion soup for lunch. Then, I got a card from my Grandma Marilyn and Sam, and I got a creme brulee cookbook and all the stuff I need to make them from Joe. I'm super looking forward to giving it a shot this weekend. I heart me some creme brulee.

A few weeks ago, my cousin Brook told me that her in-laws would be passing through Death Valley. They ended up being in town on my birthday. Since Joe was working, I didn't really have anything else going on except hanging out with Mony, so I met up with them and their friends that they were traveling with. I'm really glad I did, because they were really nice and it was great to see some people be excited about meeting Ramona.

The other exciting news today was finding out that I was able to take some time off of work to go visit home. I'm very excited about being in Ohio October 16-20. I can't wait to see you all!
