June 19, 2010 by Hillary 26 Comments

That’s the date I write on every single form, every single application. I write this ‘number’ a lot. It never changes. It’s 12 (13?) days past the day the doctor told my parents I would arrive, but alas… it’s the day I was born. After overstaying my welcome, I plopped into this world exactly 21 years ago today at a healthy 8 pounds 5 ounces.

Baby

I have lived two full decades. I have twenty years of life experience. I appreciate every day I’ve had, and look forward to each that lies ahead. Some years have been more plump with adventure, laughter, and joy. Some years, there were bigger obstacles to climb and getting through another day seemed more of a challenge. Yet, I think it is only appropriate – on your birthday – to rejoice the positives of your life, the unique individual that you are, and who you’ve grown to be. 

“Be happy for this moment for this moment is your life.” – Omar Khayyam

Today I woke up at the early hour of 6:19am to join my favorite running gals on a 7-mile run. You’ve heard me say a time or two, I’m not a fan of sleeping in; I wasn’t about to waste my precious time in bed on my once in a lifetime 21st birthday. Up and at ’em!

  • 7-mile run around the golf course @ 7:00am. 66 minutes later… done.
  • blueberry birthday pancakes. done.

In honor of my birthday twin [HAPPY 30th, TINA!], I made her recipe for Really Good Pancakes.

003

3 pancakes x 7 blueberries each = 21!

014

I smothered my pancakes in organic berries, agave, 0% plain Greek, and a dusting of lemon zest.

013

Delicious or Deceiving

Unfortunately, my b.day breakfast ‘cakes were not really good. In fact, I would say they were actually pretty awful – flavorless & rubbery. What went wrong? Oh well : ) I’ve still had a lovely start to my day and… I spy blue sky!

What’s the plan for the rest of my day?

Friends. Oyster Festival [details another time?]. Dinner with ma mere et mon pere. Cake. More friends. Bar hopping? More drinks… and the rest is history.

This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
