happy birthday to me!

this is the absolute best birthday ever! i turned 29 on thursday and i'm still high from celebrating. k cooked for me. she made sheperd's pie. not just made it but to pass many tests while making it. new peelers, new casserole dish, how long to boil potatoes. straining potatoes?! only she would. and i like that about her. this goes down in history as the bestest b-day i could ever had imagined. the day before she had confessed she had feelings for me and so i was nervous already about having to deal with these in person. what i love about us is that we have always been open and honest with each other and this is not going to change. we talked about our fears, our apprehensions. is this just a phase she's going thru? do we want to take this to the next level and put our friendship at risk? we're both big girls and realize that as with anything, risks are involved. neither one of us want to play it safe. we are slowly building on our already established friendship. we will continue to work at our friendship. as she put it, many people don't commit to their friendships and that's where problems occur. if we go thru this and it doesn't work, i want to know i will still have my friend. she is something i longed for my whole life, i cannot lose her now.

so much to process & memories to linger on...right now i'm still tasting her soft lips on mine. i'm loving 29
