27 years old
Birthdays come and go so fast. March/April are mad with all their celebrations of life among my family and friends. Yesterday we celebrated by going to Olive Garden and my sister making me the most light and fruity birthday cake. So awesome! Some highlights.
Also – Brian has been holding back on me. We’ve been planning a “real” vacation where it’s just the two of us (first time since our Honeymoon where we would go further/somewhere else then Myrtle Beach), but we hadn’t quite decided where. Well, he had decided – and revealed it on my birthday yesterday. We’re going to go to ITALY FOR 10 DAYS!!! What? This is utter crazyness – I mean, we are young and poor – people like us don’t go to Italy! It’s going to take a ton of scrimping and saving, but I know it will be worth it. Brian sees it as a milestone to our life changing this year and a celebration of our 5 years together (FIVE YEARS? wow). We’re going to go to Rome, Florence & Venice. It will be a bit short for that much, but I’m just so grateful anyway. I will not take this for granted. Holy crap!!!! I can’t wait to observe and take pictures of things I’ve only seen in history books and on the internet! LOL.

Ahhhh!!!!
And this is seriously a little weird cuz — Today I have to work, with one awesome Kristin, then tonight I’m going to hang out with my other two amazing Kristin’s – one for dinner and then one for a little movie, R&R on my bday till Brian gets back from practice. LOL. Get different names people! Anyway — Yay!

Rach! What exciting news! I can’t wait for your photos – of all the cool church buildings! Ha!
This will be great. So glad God put us together in life – for the majority of our 27 years. I love you! See you @ dinner! xo

Looks like it was awesome. I’m really jealous of the Italy trip. We didn’t do much of anything for our 5-year anniversary. I had a 4-week old. But I think for our 6th we’re going to CA! YAY for ocean breezes!

So awesommme! and that tea set is adorable!!! I talked to your sissy about how I was so proud she made a healthy dessert…but then she said what the cream topping was made out of (and I drooled).
I can’t believe it’s been 5 years!
