One year to another.

I have the hardest time remembering how old I am.

I am constantly asking Ryan because he knows better than I do.

Yes, I could do the math in my head but I hate math.

I constantly have a dumbfounded look when I'm asked my age at a bar.

Let me tell you just how suspicious that makes you look.

I'm surprised that anyone in the state of Oklahoma even serves me alcohol

between my answer of "Uhhhh...." on top of the fact that I usually look about 16-19.

Well, I turned a day older yesterday which means it'll take me another year to remember.

Ryan took me on the most simple & sweet date yesterday which included our favorite things:

Food, dessert, drive time, mid-century homes & deer.

We had delicious bad-for-you food at Gabriella's,

which I highly recommend to anyone that loves real Italian food.

Or really just anyone that loves pizza because OHMYGOSH, their pizza.

I could eat the dough alone for all my meals for an entire week.

Also, hello dessert:

That my friends, was quite literally a little piece of heaven called Zeppole

& they make it out of that amazing pizza dough.

Our date ended by finding my dream neighborhood 

in a location we would have never even thought of on the east side of Lincoln

filled with one beautiful mid-century home after another

in what felt like a middle of a forest, complete with deer.

We were in love.

*I must also note that Ryan made me wear a blindfold to surprise me because he's just that cute.

& we spent all day Sunday celebrating my birth the best way: with family.

 My mother is the greatest.

Thank you to everyone for all of the birthday wishes,

it really was grand.
