My birthday makes me melancholy for some reason even though I am really not very old. So in an attempt to stay positive I have compiled a list of accomplishments since my last birthday...
Discovered first hand that flour snufs a grease fire (poor missionaries had a later dinner)
Made the one year mark with Katelyn on nursing (didn't think we'd make it)
Ran half-marathon (I'm really not a runner, so big deal for me)
Danced at Roseball (I have two left feet)
Snorkeled in Hanauma Bay (after my sea turtle encounter yrs ago wasn't sure I could)
Completed 5 pastel pieces (1 being Katelyn's portrait) & my first canvas painting
Learned to sew quilts, make cards, and bake Chocolate Chip cookies (so domestic)
Read Jesus the Christ and even guided a few discussions on it
Realize how lucky I am to have a roof over my head, food in my pantry, and Nate and Katelyn cheering me on in my endeavors.
Tomorrow marks the start of my 26th year and new adventures await.

happy birthday girl...i know this is so lame to wish you a great day and year...but that's how pathetic i've gotten lately. Miss you! Love you!
Happy Birthday FRIEND!! I had no idea - I am such a bad friend! Let's get together this weekend for a belated celebration!!!
hey stace, i hope you had an excellent birthday. look at how much you did over the last year! that's a great way of looking at it instead of just another year older. it's good for me to hear that you ran a half-marathon even though you don't consider yourself a runner (which i highly doubt, but i also am in the same category). i've been wanting to do one of those. and paint something. reading your list makes me wanna get off my duff and accomplish.
What great accomplishments! And another Pink Package due to arrive soon. Happy Belated Birthday! Can't wait to hear the great news.
