Birthday Fun
So, yesterday was my 25th birthday... Quarter of a century! I've been working a lot lately, and my birthday was no exception. I got a whopping 5.5 hours of sleep the night before, got up at 6:30 to get ready for work.... worked at the Alpine Club from 8-5, and then rushed over to Splendido (restaurant) to work the evening. What a day! I am thankful, however, for how special a few of my co-workers made me feel. I got a huge cupcake birthday balloon at the club, some homemade Italian cookies and gifts from Liisa, a Starbucks giftcard from Stephanie, and lots of birthday wishes from the club members.
Although I hardly had time to eat lunch or dinner, let alone get a 5-minute phone conversation in with my mum and dad, it was a pretty good day. After getting off work last night my roommates took me out for some birthday shots, which caught up with me by the end of the night, lol.... But from what I can remember it was a blast! :)
One quarter-of-a-century down, three more to go! Here's to a great upcoming year! I'm excited for what life has in store, even if there are a lot of "unknowns" in my life. I trust in God to provide, I trust in my inner strength, and I believe that great things are to come.
Merry Christmas everybody!

Staying True
Boy, it's cold out here! Yesterday the high was -16 degrees Celsius. The high.
Yeah.
I guess it feels a lot colder because I'm under the weather with the sniffles, a sore throat, and a really sore neck. :( But I'm still working, trying to power through it.
I got to Skype with Josh yesterday, which was so nice to catch up again. He's over in Australia living the dream- where it's sunny and warm. :)
In other news, I'm starting to get back into yoga and meditation. It took a while to get back to this place of feeling ready again, but I think I'm there. The funny thing (maybe not funny per se) is that I think I couldn't get my mind right for yoga and meditation because I wasn't being true to myself during the past few months. Avoidance is the worst thing, too, because once you start ignoring something it gets harder to walk away from or FIX.
Since I'm feeling nostalgic and missing some people from the east coast, here are some pictures from GAF at the Nantahala... when Kristin and I went down in a 2-person raft. lol!
