In the mean time, my birthday weekend was lovely (my newly made up rule is that you can claim the entire weekend as your birthday if it falls on Friday or Saturday, feel free to steal this rule and use at will).
It was filled with food, food, cake and food. I got pancakes before work, work then 'surprised' me with cake (and although I already knew about the surprise, I played along). I then came home to dinner and a massive 4 layered black forest cake made lovingly from scratch by David. There was cheese and crackers and olives and all sorts of tasty treats and I was given my very own Jasmine plant from David. I love jasmine, its so pretty, and smells so good and I think I sounded like a broken record when we first arrived in Sydney talking about how much I wanted my very own jasmine plant. Well, I guess it worked :) I can't wait for it to bloom in spring with its pretty white flowers and gorgeous scent.
Me with my jasmine plant...
Cute outfit photo out take - I think Monty was trying to jump up onto me at this point.
And last but not least, it was topped off with a lovely High Tea today with fellow bloggers Louise and Ellen.
So far, 25 hasn't been too bad...

PS) David and I bought a maple bonsai for our anniversary, its so pretty... I love maples, and I especially love little ones I can take places with me.

A birthday weekend is a great idea! I did that myself this year which was also my 25th - quarter life crisis never happened, though! think that might be a bit of a myth :)
OMG THAT DRESS!!
Divine! I would turn 25 a million times over if I could wear that dress! (hahaha if ONLY I could be 25 again!)
Happy birthday :)
Happy birthday again!
You look lovely in that dress, and I love the haircut!
Wowza, that dress is amazing! Where did you get it?!
Also, how funny that you went to The Victoria Room (5mins walk away from my place, btw) the same night I hung out with some other Sydney bloggers and discussed also having a high tea meet-up!
--xo.

Happy birthday! You look lovely! I'll be 25 in June! :o)
awww...bonsai, jasmine, and a cute dress! perfect!
What lovely little plants. I used to work in a green house full of hanging jasmine baskets. I even rescued one that no one wanted. It was variegated, and people took that to mean sickly, but I thought it was beautiful so I gave it to my mother-in-law.
Your dress is darling and those shoes! I adore those shoes! I love the multiple buckles.
Oh, and Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday! Any occasion with that much cake involved is okay in my book! :D Your dress is gorgeous. I love the color and the little bows!
Lovely outfit and supercute shoes!
This dress is adorable. I hope you had a splendid birthday! have a great one!
Happy birthday!Your dress is STUNNING by the way, the colur and the little details....*sigh*
Only a couple of my friends suffered a quater life crisis, so hopefully you will be fine :-)
Happy Birthday again!! you look gorgeous in that dress! :)
Happy birthday! You look wonderful and it sounds like you had an awesome weekend. I'm turning 25 this year too and am currently in the midst of the quarter-life crisis. Yay?
You can just declare a birthday week if you need to! We do and it's the best tradition ever - having seven whole days of celebration plus a big midnight birthday (like new years, but for birthdays) is very fun!
Happy birthday (a little late..)! Your dress is lovely, and the shoes are even more lovelier! You're gorgeous!
Happy Birthday!
