*Best*

Happy Birthday, Greg!
Happy Birthday, Me!
It's been a beautiful but horribly chaotic birthday so far. The best birthday present so far came last night when my friend told me that he and his wife are expecting! Yay! I'm so happy for them and it was awesome that they chose to share the news with me on a special day!
Another wedding looks to be in the works. No details yet because he hasn't proposed yet... but it's pretty much a sure thing. I've got to start a wedding counter. I think I'm at 7 now... and 1 baby.
My grand-aunt passed away peacefully a couple weeks ago. In a way, I'm thankful that she's in a better place. She was never the same after... anyways...
So basically... take the good with the bad. I'm looking forward to a fab 27th year. I'm officially 27 now - to the minute.
D asked me last night what was the best thing that happened to me in my 26th year. As cliche as it sounded, and what was initially said in jest, the best thing that happened really was meeting all the new people and making new friends in Japan. Under other circumstances, I seriously doubt I'd meet these people let alone befriend them.
So here's my thanks for the year, and my resolution...
Thank you to all my friends in my life. I really am blessed to have met you all and I'm looking forward to making more new friends this year and visiting all my oldest and dearest friends.
Thank you too to my sister (and partner in crime) for always being on the same wavelength.
I do love you all in my own "special" way.~
