July 27th is my favorite day of the year


It’s my birthday today! I was going to post a picture of my birthday cake, but for some reason… while my cakes taste delicious, they never really look all that beautiful. Ha! I’d gladly send each one of you a piece of cake, but I can only send my love and I’m sending loads. I hope you feel it!

Today was fabulous! I got two packages in the mail (they came early even though my friends thought they’d be late, the mail really delivered this year.. no pun intended) from a couple of my friends and guess what! Remember my purchases? Well, my friends got me those books! The Hunger Games trilogy and Sisterhood Everlasting. I can’t wait to start reading them!

My birthday would have been complete with just that (books are the absolute best gifts, in my opinion), but then I went to this really beautiful place called Bodensee and I’ll just have to show you all there is to show on another day (although there’s a glimpse of it up there) because right now, my friends, I am off to enjoy the last couple of hours of my birthday. Enjoy your 27th!

Sweet Eva, happiest birthday wishes to you! I realize that with the time difference, your birthday is nearly over by now: I hope you had the best day ever. I was with Brandi today and we thought about you when we were taking photos of lambs on a farm. Love and light to you as another fabulous year of living is welcomed!

Happy Birthday for yesterday! A trip to Bodensee sounds like a lovely way to spend it too – the summer flowers look gorgeous.
