My baby sister, who graduated from high school on what seemed like only yesterday, has turned 21! Growing up... we never really celebrated birthday's, due to financial constraints, so I wanted to make this day very, very special for her. So, I drove 3.5 hours with centerpieces, candles, cutely {is this a word?} wrapped gifts and a custom birthday cake in tow.
I wanted this to be a surprise for her as I was sure that she was only expecting the normal gifts and a card from me via snail mail due to my new job and extremely demanding travel schedule. However, it is often said that love is measured by sacrifice and I wanted to show my love toward my precious little sister by making some major sacrifices in order to join her in celebrating her 21st birthday.
Happy 21st Birthday Asha! |
This is the cake that added 30 minutes to my normal travel time... I just wanted to make sure that it arrrived in a single piece and not crumbles! It was beautiful and fitting for the occassion. We received tons of compliments on it.
I truly enjoyed bringing this night together for my sister. If I could do it all again... I would.... only bigger and better! I love you Asha! May the blessings of the Lord continue to overtake you in this year!
