Yesterday marked a big milestone in my life. It was the day that I turned a 1/4 of a century old. Up until now, I haven't really thought much about my age when my birthday has come around. However, this year I couldn't help but reflect on the fact that I am closer to 30 than 19, and in fact I am on the road to true adulthood.

It is wonderful to have friends and families who care and want to celebrate me. Thanks to all the phone calls and facebook messages that made my birthday not only bearable but memorable.
Thanks!
P.S. I also won settlers which was a perfect ending to the day!
