autumn: I'm now 25 years old!

Happy Birthday to ME!

So yesterday, Sept 17th, was my 25th birthday...I’m now one quarter of a century old....WOW!

It was an amazing day! I woke up at around 5:00am...and I laid in bed thinking of the day, thanking God for the past 25 years, for all the people in my life, and praying for the next 25 years. Then at around 7:00 Corey and I got the call...we had 15min to get dressed, grab a coffee and get down to Victoria park where we would be going on a hot air balloon ride!!!!! I was SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited! It was amazing!

We took off from Victoria Park, flew (more like floated) all across Charlottetown, and landed at the airport! It was such an awesome experience, one I will never forget! Then we went out for breakfast, and went home to get ready for church. After church we went home, relaxed, ate some lunch and opened a few presents. Corey surprised me with some new clothes, bath soaps/lotions, and a gift card for more to go and take figure skating lessons! I was so surprised!!! Jayne had been taking some lessons over the summer, and I mentioned how cool it would be to learn to spin...but I never thought that I'd get the chance. I think I want to get out on my skates a few times before I take the lessons (so I don't fall flat on my face the first day)...but I'm so excited!

We went out to my folks place for dinner and Aaron and Erica and the kids were home for the day, so we got to spend time with them and open a few more presents! All in all it was an amazing day! Thank you all for making it so special...all of the phone calls and emails were so nice to receive! I love you all!!!
