For some reason I read the title of this blog post to the tune of the Flinstones Vitamins jingle. You know, the one that goes “We are Flinstones kids, a million strong annnnnnndddd growing!” I have no idea why, but I do
Today is my first full day as a 25 year old and it’s Throwback Thursday. Today I am going to have the shortest time travel yet….to yesterday!
Last Wednesday I awoke to a vase of beautiful flowers being delievered. I loved them, but it wasn’t my birthday so I was quite confused. Poor Sam wanted them delivered yesterday and the florist completely disregarded his order. (Word to the wise, do not use iflorist.)

| I received these beautiful flowers last Wednesday |
Sam knew that I’ve been super bummed out that we wouldn’t spend my birthday together. On the stroke of midnight Wednesday, Sam skyped me. In fact, he through me a Skype birthday party of one, which was in a word: hilarious. (Sorry, there’s no way to take quality screenshots of Skype really.)

| This is what greeted me at midnight. AKA 7am in England |
 |
| I hope he saves one of these balloons till I get back. |
And then in the morning, the flowers were redelivered. In fact, this bouquet was even more beautiful than the first!
 |
| Yikes. Too much flash! |
 |
| Birthday flowers |
 |
| Both bouquets had these cheesy but hilarious butterflies tucked inside. |
For ages (2 years to be precise) I’ve been talking about how much I want a Cambridge Satchel. And lo and behold that’s what I got this year from Sam! (Yes, my real initials are “AND”.)
ABC Bakery is one of the best bakeries in Albuquerque. Everything that comes out of their ovens is beautiful. My brother knows my panda obsession well so he ordered me a special cupcake aside from the ones for everyone else. Unfortunately, my mom dropped it! But we tried to rescue him.
 |
| Poor squished panda! But you can tell how handsome he was originally. |
 |
| Cupcakes for everyone else. |
Let it be known: my 20 year old brother still can’t wrap a present to save his life!
 |
| He also has the handwriting of a 5 year old. |
