I've just had an amazing weekend.

Last night, it dawned on me that I've had my LJ for a year now. I had realized, a couple of weeks ago, that it was coming up on a year, but I forgot all about it until last night, when I was sitting on my sister-in-law's couch at her birthday party, and remembered writing an entry after attending her birthday party last year.

A small handful of you have been here since the start of my LJ. One of you is responsible for introducing me to LJ.

All of you have touched my life in one way or another. I want to thank you, each of you, even if you're new to my journal, for everything you've done for me. You've given me support, advice, friendship, smiles, laughter, knowledge, courage, strength, silliness, love, and friendship. I'm often humbled, and so grateful, by the friendships I've made over such a medium. Most of you, I'll never meet in person, and yet, here you are, sharing my experiences, thoughts, and feelings.

It's been quite a year. Thanks for being a part of it.

Happy birthday myhope!

I hope that your day is as bright and blessed as your spirit.

Love you!

Who else is love?

Oh yes he is.

AND he's a Birthday boy!


*sung breathlessly a la Marilyn Monroe* Happy Birthday Mr. Da-ane...

Love you sweetie. Hope you're having a good one.

ETA: Clarification, since the "is love" bar above appears to have multiple personalities, It's supposed to say "HUNTERDANE is love". Because, HE IS!!

Well, its official. I'm no longer 25. :( I really liked being 25, the year was filled with more love and personal growth than any other in my adulthood. I have a feeling 26 will be just fine though.

Thanks to all my LJ Friends for the Happy Birthday Wishes, I feel so loved in LJ land! Oh, and endersgame3 that card WAS perfect! Thanks! :D

Long story, but I didn't end up getting my birthday tattoo. :( I'm bummed, but believe that everything happens for a reason, and am willing to wait until the artist I know, love, and trust is able to do it. My birthday was very lovely. I was woke up to Emily calling to wish me a happy birthday, and then the flood of "Happy Birthday" calls began. (Including 2 Happy Birthday calls from Lance and 3 from Emily, even though both of them were coming to the house later!)

Some friends came over in the evening to grill out and such. It was very relaxed and mellow, but just what I needed. I think this is the first birthday in 8 years that I didn't get completely obliterated, also a good feeling.

From Ryan, I received a Guitar Book of Jack Johsnon songs (I <3 Him) and a cute card (and some out of this world birthday nookie, of course). The critters gave me a gift card to Best Buy, which was used today toward a new printer. :) Emily gave me a garden pillar, garden candles, and garden incense (her presents are THE BEST!) and though it was totally unnecessary and unexpected, Lance brought me a little August Birthday Angel (cute!) and a card with a hunky man on it. His personal message in the card was quite swoon worthy.

Today we're going to my mom's for dinner and cake. I like birthdays that last a few days.

Ryan was a mad man with the camera last night, so lots of Birthday Girl pics under the cut!

:) I think hope its been a while since I've posted while intoxicated. Pretty sure I haven't used this icon in a while.

I had a nice Friday night. :) Ordered pizza with Lance, talked him in to going to Ryan's gig with me for a teensy weensy bit to meet up with my mom and step-dad, stopped at a different bar to see a different band at his request on the way back to his house. Lovely, lovely. He is SUCH a tease sometimes. He best be careful, lest he bite off more than he can comfortably chew. ;)

He asked me to come in when we got to his place because he didn't want me to be alone when it officially turned my birthday and he wanted to give me my first birthday hug. (I took a few extra ones too.)

Total cuteness when he meant to ask "Is there anything I can get for you?" and instead asked "Is there anything I can get from you?" He was rewarded with a very mischevious look.

I am feeling especially gushy.

I sure wish Ry would get home for some birthday snuggles.

Have a good weekend y'all.



Edit: Ryan has arrived home and has thrilled me with a "stunning" rendition of "Happy Birthday".
