21 (+8)

I turned 29 today. I have mixed feelings about this, but today was a wonderful, blessed day. The rain marathon here in VA finally stopped, the sun came out, the temperature came up and it was a fabulous day for grilling outdoors. My parents and sister, H, visited and we all enjoyed grilled salmon, cupcakes and wine on our deck. S chose not to eat any dinner (which seems to be an unfortunate habit of hers as of late), but she helped me blow out the candles on my cupcakes (fortunately there weren't 29 candles).

And my birthday gift from R?

I am in love. S was mesmerized!
