Twenty three.

Happy birthday to me! (On September 27th)

My first one married.

My first one in another state.

My 23rd birthday.

My husband spoiled me with an adorable apron, a new candle warmer, cannolis the day before, my favorite Dairy Queen ice cream cake, a Polar fit watch, and surprise horseback riding on my actual day.

Horseback riding was so much fun and made my heart happy. It's been difficult to not have a horse after having Cide for nearly ten years, not to mention been difficult just not being around horse smell and touch and the atmosphere of a barn. I guess horse people understand that one more than ever. 

I love my new Polar watch and have used it often already. It's so motivating and intriguing to see actual data if I'm at yoga class, at the gym or even just walking the dog. I definitely recommend it to anyone. 

Overall, the day was amazing and it was wonderful being able to spend it with my husband for the first time ever in our relationship.

While I did always love getting mushy birthday packages on my birthday, spending the day with him was way better.

Cheers to twenty-three, 

I think it's going to be great!
