I had such a great birthday filled with lots of sweet messages from friends and a few surprises! I hope you all liked my 25 Life Lessons For My 25th Birthday post!
I got a cold brew at Starbucks to start my morning after a good bench workout.
Jon and I met for lunch at a place called Chopt that’s around the corner from my office. They have really great salads, my favorite is the Spicy Santorini Salad. Jon got one too.
At work they surprised me with a cake and sang Happy Birthday to me! It was so thoughtful of them. We had a happy hour after work and we walked right by where they were filming Law & Order! I had to stop and take a picture.
Jon and I got poke for dinner.
He sang to me while I blew out my candles and made a wish.

Cheers to 25!
