25

Dearest Karen,

We made it! A quarter of a century! Mid-twenties! 25!

Today, we invited our friends and threw a “Modern American Girl” birthday party. It was sweet, colorful, and full of fabulous outfits. New friendships were made, and old connections were checking in, making sure that they were okay. All of our hands created something beautiful, whether it was new earrings or an encouraging pennant to decorate our walls. We ate until our bodies could no longer carry us from table to table. Today was sweet & I hope 25 will be, too.
