Pie, anyone?

Haven't had a chance to upload pictures from Thanksgiving yet, but photographic testimony aside, there was plenty to be thankful for—including this post-Thanksgiving pie made by my sweet friend, Sophia.

25 at last!

I had a huge blog post worked up, but instead, I went to Disneyland! I'd never been and some Twitterfolk spontaneously decided to go. All of Saturday was spent riding rides (Thunder Mountain was my very first roller coaster!), gaping and gasping at the lovely place. Many thanks to Brian, Byron, Sharon, Ben, Heather, and Rachel for being there on this special day!

25 is a birthday year, so there'll be some upcoming posts on thoughts, hopes, and dreams for this significant year.

My Birthday Present To Me

...a Helvetica license plate.

For the typeface.

And the country.

...Just in case you were wondering what to get me, you can take a peek at my wishlist. :)

Only 5 days left. Wish the weather would change along with my changing season...

The end of 24 gets closer still.

Wonder what the dawn of 25 will bring.

In the grand spectrum of birthdays, 25 isn't quite so significant. Car rental is granted, I guess. Perhaps a little more street cred. More paperwork, now being fully responsible for my own insurance, and such. Old enough to be a responsible adult, but not quite old enough to give sage advice...

And yet this feels like it'll be a significant year. A year to chase dreams, start life afresh, pursue my calling with deep vigor. There's lots that I'm thinking about(and will share more later), mostly related to a significant change coming up in my life. Next summer, I'm moving to Peoria on a church plant. Who ever thought I'd be moving from one suburb to another? Not me!

There is a story behind all this, but it's better told in person.
