I really liked the photo-an-hour birthday project that I did last year, so I tried it again this year on Tuesday. Birthdays are always different (at least I never know what to expect). I basically had class/school work from 9-5, and then a study session from 7-9. After my JGL encounters the previous day, there wasn't a lot that I imagined would be as exciting. But then David gave me a picnic basket!

I know it sounds a little silly but I've been wanting a picnic basket for a few years and of course, David always seems to finally get me things that I've been eying for excessive amounts of time. I can't wait for my first picnic with it!

This time last year, I:
- just finished gallivanting around Western Europe with David
- began studying in Oxford
- had more tea than I thought possible
- spent more time on airplanes than I thought possible
- couldn't help but think that my half-year abroad was surreal.

With graduation this June, I truly have no idea what's to come this next year. Everything is so uncertain and subject to change. Usually, this drives me crazy but this year, I'm trying to embrace it.

  13. Staycie- that's fantastic! Oxford is such a fun place to be, I'm sure he'll love it. (And if he's a Harry Potter fan... he can reenact lots of scenes where they were actually filmed!)
