Until we go to CHINA! My parents asked us what we're doing for Christmas this year, and if it was okay that we spend it in China! Ummmm, let me think...I don't think that I'd rather be making snowforts in the usual 5 feet of snow! I'm so excited, it feels so surreal. I have to look into the vaccines and shots and other stuff associated with going to Asia! I'm going to be in Kate Spade bag HEAVEN! I'm saving all my piano money and going to be VERY materialistic this Holiday Season. What a FUN birthday surprise this was.

Any tips from any fellow international travelers?

I'm how old? 27...that number always sounded so far away...and yet here I am. I've faced it and it's not that bad! My birthday was last Friday and since then, I've been surrounded by family, made lots of new fond memories and got some awesome gifts for my birthday!

I got to party at Seven Peaks (pictures to come at a later post), my cousins made me some yummy birthday pancakes, I got Breaking Dawn book and a sunburn, a Santoku Knife, a new recipe book holder, an ABBA CD, and more! I am so lucky, it's been the best birthday yet! I want to turn 27 again.
