25.

I celebrated my 25th birthday on 8/8.

I always feel magical on my birthday, like the sun is shining especially for me or like there's glitter dazzling in my veins. 

I'm big on birthdays & I'm a big time planner, 

so I had been brainstorming ideas for a while now on 

how to celebrate.

The temple.

It just felt right & I thought, 

'what better place & what better way to celebrate my birthday!!!'

^^ & I kind of think that the Provo temple looks a bit like a birthday cake with a candle on it. So it's fitting!^^

I invited friends to come do a session with me.

Utah was boasting some pretty gorgeous Texas-esque clouds

After the temple I had a breakfast brunch at Communal.

I had always wanted to go, but never had a good reason to!

^^Andrea HAD to drench her tostada in hot sauce. SUPER MEXICANA.

In the evening my good friend, Katie Bair, treated me to a ticket

to an outdoor Petatonix/Kelly Clarkson concert!

I'm going to be honest, 

I was a little worried that I wouldn't know any of the songs. 

It's been a cool minute since I listened to any Kelly Clarkson, 

but she sang all of her old power ballads.

My favorite was probably 'breakaway' because come on

Princess Diaries 2!

^^ & to add to the magic, there was a firework show somewhere in the distance! 

Seriously, thank you to EVERYONE who made me feel so special on my birthday! I'm so lucky to have you in my life.
