Twenty One!!!

So today I turned 27 and my baby girl is 2 months old. I can't believe 27 years ago I was making my presence into the world, and 2 months ago my little lady was making hers. I don't feel like I am 27...I still feel 21 (hence the candles on the cake) and everything good happens with the number 21 involved. I was born on the July 21st, Veda was born on the May 21st, we got married on the 21st of June, turning 21 is a momentous occasion (I was in Las Vegas with my daddy!), 2 plus 1 equals 3 which is my favorite number!

So in ode to the number 21...here are 21 things that I love!

1. My family...especially Bradley and Veda =)
2. My friends
3. Bubble baths with the soft glow of candles around me
4. Clean, cool bed sheets
5. Laughing
6. Holding hands
7. Witnessing elderly couples hold hands
8. Pop up rain showers
9. Veda's baby breath
10. Veda's tiny toes
11. Veda's smile...it truly makes me feel like I have witnessed something extraordinary
12. Listening to Bradley chat with Veda
13. Black and White photos
14. Hollywood Gossip ;)
15. A new purse
16. Amos Lee and Schuyler Fisk tunes...they simply soothe my soul
17. Anthropology...just going into this store makes me feel calm
18. Wet sand on the feet...it is a free pedicure and feels amazing
19. Movie nights
20. The incense they burn at church during special occasions and holidays
21. Going back home to Greensburg and driving through the country with the windows rolled down...that smell is amazing!!!

I'm sure I have more, but these are the first ones I thought of! Feel free to leave a message on something you love or something you think is keeping the star's apart!




On Veda's 2 months she had to get 4 shots. The photo above is her prior to the shots, and I could not get any after because I was too distraught. I thought I would have no problem when she got her vaccines, but her poor cry and shocked look sent me over the edge. I had to hold back the tears. I can't believe it has already been 2 months. She is perfect though, and her check-up went well. She weighed in at 10 lbs! We can't wait to come home in September. Not only is she going to get to meet a lot of our family for the first time, but she will also be baptized.

Well...time to go eat some birthday cake that my wonderful husband made me:)
