happy birthday to me :: a face for 28

it's a bit shocking to me i am in my late 20's already!  not sure if i am good shocked or bad shocked yet, but  i am for sure shocked.  i will say, i am pretty excited for this year though. there are a lot of little things to look forward to!  for the first time in almost 5 years, i actually feel pretty comfortable in toronto.  it sure did take awhile for me to warm up to this city, but year after year i seem to be making closer friends, understanding transit a bit better, and can now confidently recommend awesome places to go in the city.  so that feels pretty good!

we had our little get together with friends on the weekend and then a simple little outing for just handsome and i last night, which ultimately ended with a deep fried Mars Bar {don't do it, trust me!}.  throughout the day i received some of the best birthday wishes i ever had before!  there were so many lovely notes, an extremely flattering birthday blog post on 2 girls2views2ronto, and countless other really creative ways to say happy birthday.  i loved them all so very much!!

i also finished up the last of what i need to mail in my citizenship application which is just another exciting thing happening in this awesome year!  stay tuned for more on that!
