birthday wish list...

My 24th birthday is on Monday...just a few days away. I've picked out my top 5 gift wish list for my husband and I thought I would share it with you. Stella and Dot...wish my friend Holly is selling. I can't decide which one I like better...the gold or the silver.

Dutch Blitz is my all time favourite game:)

These boots are my favourite AND in my size!

This camera has been on my list for a few years now...

I always get bad calluses when weight training. These gloves are the cutest:)

We are hoping to go away next weekend to celebrate our birthdays. (jason's is 4 days after mine). I love getting away...even if its just for a night.

Tonight is for birthday celebration #2. Yay! for not having to make supper:)

i guess its my birthday soon

My birthday is on Sunday. My feelings toward it are neutral. I don't have a problem with the age (23). I have always love birthdays and was always super excited for mine. But this year is different and I don't know why.

In an effort to increase my own personal excitement I put together a wish list:

an sweet Team Lovely Painting by Elsie
awesome plaid ipod touch skin

Chariot jogging stoller with bike attachment

fujimax instax (I would even take one without hello kitty on it)

amazing hoodie by Replicca

toms (love this pair)

my own sewing machine (again hello kitty version not required)

While I feeding Cohen is breakfast my mind started to wonder to his first birthday party. I want it to be so special. I love summer parties. Jason and I's birthdays are both in the dead of winter so it will be nice to celebrate in some warmer weather.

We have super tree in our backyard for a tire swing and that's what I want to get Cohen for his birthday.
I started to search for some pictures and became really inspired by the glorious trees with tire swings on them....
