TWENTYTHREE, JAIKS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! I turn 23 today, and I have to say: it feels great! I don't know where I thought I would be in my life by now, but I am more than pleased with how things are. Give me five years and I'll be driving around in a Mini Cooper. In ten years, I might be starting a family, who knows? At least I am going to have a dog by then!

Right now, I already have a great family of friends – who I hope will stay in my life forever. The images are from this weekend, and these people are a small part of that family. I am very grateful that I have so many amazing people in my life!

Now bugger off, I have to celebrate some more.

YELLOW / LOVE

More from the August Break. Yellow candle-lights from my birthday-party yesterday. With the bad weather some of my power is out, and therefore I had to fill the bathroom with candles. It turned out to be some very romantic trips to the bathroom for my guests.

Today's theme is love. What can I say? Making breakfast in bed for someone is a great feeling. Even though I spend a lot of time by myself, I know there is love in my life, and I am very grateful for that!

THAT TIME OF THE YEAR

I think this happens every summer; too many things are happening at the same time and suddenly it has been almost two weeks since my last blog-post. Even though I am not having a "summer vacation", I can tell when everyone else is. Friends who spent the last months studying for exams are open to spending time with each other again. They start to plan little trips, arrange huge parties and invite everyone over for dinner.

In addition to this, there is also a lot more to do at work, which means longer hours and spending some more time there. When I get off, the last thing on my mind is sitting by the computer when there is sunshine (and Norwegian nature) just outside my door.

I can not say that I have a very exciting summer ahead, because I do plan to spend as much time as possible at my job, but I like to make the best of the time there is. The summer will bring many concerts, barbeques, hiking in the mountains and having a lot of great people around me. To me, that is a perfect summer of twothousandandthirteen.

What are your plans?

(PS: Under Construction just had its one year anniversary.)

TWENTY-SOMETHING

Well, I guess I am a year older and twenty-something now. So far I have spent my day in a pajamas, doing this thing up here on my Mac. (Hahahaha!) Although I have got over 60 congratulating-messages, no one seems to have any time to actually spend with me, and therefore I have made breakfast in bed for myself. I am also listening to a happy birthday playlist on Spotify, so I guess things could have been worse.

Happy Birthday to me!
