Happy Birthday Bella!

Today-ish is my niece Bella's 5th birthday (She was born on February 29th). I can't believe she is already 5 years old. I remember the day she was born and how excited I was. I also remember going to see my sister in the hospital and ending up staying there for 4 hours to keep her company. For the first 3 years of her life, I pretty much saw her every day and took care of her quite a bit. Then I moved to Boston and then to Ottawa and I haven't seen her nearly as much. I miss her quite a bit. She's a smart little girl and doesn't let much get past her. She also uses ridiculously large words for a girl her age. Hopefully, she will get over her fear of flying and come to see me sometime soon. Anyway, Happy Birthday Bella!

Birthday

Today is my 26th Birthday. Yay me! I decided to start this blog today to commemorate the event. Most people look at 25 or 30 as a big milestone birthday, but for me it is number 26 and luckily enough for me next year, 27 is another one (in my mind, anyway). This blog is just a way for me to share things I enjoy doing, watching, eating, and all of those other verbs. It's also a way for me look back on the upcoming year to see how my life has changed (if it has changed at all). I find that sometimes I really enjoy something and always end up telling the same person - specifically my sister, and this is a way for me to share that enjoyment with more than one person. I am a horrible journal writer. I go for sometimes years at a time without a new entry in my journal, but hopefully I will be more on the ball with this blog. I will try to update everyday but who knows how that will go.
