In case you hadn't guessed, today is my 26th birthday! Right now I'll either be stuffing my face with cake, laughing with loved ones, opening your present (jokes) or dancing the night away, time dependent of course. Last year the thought of entering the over twenty fives didn't appeal but it all seems ridiculous now, yes I am just saying this because I'm a year older. 

 To mark such a momentous occasion I thought I'd look back at the twenty fifth year of Hannah, I'm talking life moments, things I've enjoyed and even some things which have made me grow as a person and let's be real who doesn't want a little nosey into the gal behind Cagney and Lace?

1. Craig and I bought our very first house, that's a milestone right there.

 2. Buying said house was bloomin' stressful, trust me when I say your skin goes AWOL.

 3. Plans are made to be broken.

 4. We visited Oxford. It was the dreamiest, most British place around.

5. I made a serious investment and bought Willow, she's one high maintenance babe.

6. I started wearing Nikes and not just for the gym.

7. As much as I enjoy the finer things in life I finally understand what I treasure the most.

8. I had my first operation, it was no barrel of laughs but I'm still standing. Anyone singing Elton John?

9. Craig and I shared our first Christmas morning together and you know what? It wasn't bad.

10. I fell in love with Jo Malone's Blackberry and Bay.

11. My brother got engaged and set a date, I can't believe it's just over three months away and to say I'm proud is an understatement. 

12. I'm excited to be a bridesmaid for said wedding and my handsome beau will be an usher.

13. One of my best friends gave birth to a beautiful baby boy who'll soon be a year old. I can't keep saying I'm proud for fear of sounding like a broken record but that doesn't mean I'm not.

14. I missed Ben's Cookies like never before and vowed to get one every time I saw a kiosk. 

15. Finishing work and coming home to a super happy pooch is the best feeling around.

16. Remember that beautiful baby boy? Craig and I are going to be his God parents, thrilled doesn't quite cover it.

17. Peanut butter reached holy grail status, I'll now even eat it on a burger. No joke.

18. Cagney and Lace had a growing spurt and I'll forever be a proud parent.

19. Two of my gals got engaged, hello hen parties and weddings for the next couple of years.

20. I fell head over heels for the Nars Creamy Concealer, it really is that good.

21. I stood next to Jessica Ennis-Hill, she is just as awe-inspiring as you'd imagine.

22. I began eating avocados with everything.

23. I, yes me Hannah, steamed and painted our bedrooms. Who needs a decorator?

24. Topshop decided to give me free next day delivery for six months. I cheered, my bank balance didn't.

25. I've never felt so full of pride as I did the day Craig was best man for his bud.

26. The bride in question was a stunner too and has become one of my closest friends.

Year twenty six I'm ready for you and who knows, I might even try You Tube.
