Happy Monday everyone!

One.
I am having a giveaway, that starts today. You can enter it here. It's the first time I've used Rafflecopter and it took me nearly 30 minutes to get the widget to show up. I finally figured it out (switch from "compose" to "html" in blogger) and now you can enter! yay! It's just a few things from J. Crew to keep you cozy and cute!

My birthday was a few days ago.
Miscellany Monday - Getting Older My dad and sister held a mini-birthday party for me. It was so sweet. I was super impressed with my sister's cupcake making skills, and then she confessed she bought them at Walmart. haha! It was the first year I spent my birthday with them in at least 16 years. I got teary eyed, then my dad got teary eyed. Then my sister laughed at us.
Three.
My best friend from high school had a baby shower yesterday. She and I met when we were 12, went through a special, advanced high school together and (unsuccessfully) lived together in college.

Miscellany Monday - Getting Older

Kristy and Me, 2004

This is her second baby. I was super excited to see her and a few other friends. I was the oldest one from our "group" there. I was also the only unmarried one. I was already emotional before I got there, and about an hour and a half into the party I ended up hiding in her bathroom blinking away tears.
It's surprisingly hard to be 26 and single. I know that I'm technically NOT single, but I'm not married. I don't think I'm in a huge rush. I want to marry the Boyfriend, but know that now isn't the time. I did not expect the response I had. I still don't fully understand it.
Four.
I wanted to say thank you. So many of you left sweet comments on my post yesterday about how much I'm struggling with this long distance thing. Some of you even emailed me or sent sweet messages on Twitter.  They are SO appreciated. Of course, they just made me cry more, but they were tears of understanding and tears of not feeling so alone. So, thank you.
