Five and Twenty



25. A quarter of a century. Or as it is affectionately known in our home - halfway up the hill. As of today, I am officially there! Occasionally I will have a moment where I feel old, but life is good, and I am extremely grateful for each one of those years! Plus, I tend to really like the odd years (or I should say, the odd NUMBER years, as most years could be classified as odd). So, to start off my 25th year of life, here is a random list of 25 simple things that I enjoy:
  1. The smell of rain
  2. Reading a good book till the wee hours of the morning
  3. Beautiful pictures
  4. Laughter
  5. Catching up with old friends
  6. Warm cake
  7. That outfit that makes you feel like a million bucks
  8. Students funny notes
  9. Sleeping in
  10. Freshly fallen snow
  11. Game nights
  12. Nieces
  13. A good run after a long day
  14. Blog comments :-)
  15. Freshly painted toenails
  16. New socks
  17. Morning bike rides
  18. Smiles from strangers who pass you in the store
  19. Hugs
  20. Airplane rides
  21. Good news
  22. Great deals
  23. Seeing the ocean
  24. Canyon views in the autumn
  25. Sunday dinners with the family

Awesome list! Hope you have a fantastic day! Being 25 has been pretty good for me. Not nearly as old as I thought it would feel like!

Happy Birthday, Katie!!! Or as I could say, Happy half way up the hill day. :) I too love the smell of rain and especially enjoy staying up until the wee hour of the morning reading a good book... I'm just not usually a fan of the next morning. :)
