Perfect Cube

A month has nearly past since the start of a Perfect Cube year.
Renewed by a birthday in November, the year is 1/12th of the way in the past!

To celebrate, I enjoyed a run in DC with my friend, Annie, rounding the Lincoln, Washington Monu. and World War II, as well as passing by Arlington Cem. and the Pentagon... I just don't seem to tire of this run, so I treated myself to it in for a start to a great new year.

After a day of familiarizing myself with the age of 27, Adrienne and Aubrey, pulled off an incredible feat of creating a towering 27-layer cake! We had people over to celebrate as they shared in the delightful treat... much more cake than the average person may ever desire, but delightful nonetheless.

Adrienne, placing the last layer... steady, steady :)

The party would not have been complete without a competition, inspired by Adam, of course... 4 men racing to inhale a quarter-pounder (of CAKE)... Jared pulled off the defeat with Patrick in close second (even with his handicap of additional cake due to his fresh stomach advantage)!

The incentive was disappointingly NOT 27 kisses from yours truly, but a steak... sorry guys, you'll have to be the extenders of invitations if kisses are truly desired.

Ready, set...

How you feeling, Jared? Victory!

Phone calls and kind wishes from family and friends were the icing on the cake---What a perfect start to a new year... Perfectly cubed, 27 is proving to be a great season of life... memories to look back on, bounties to enjoy now and more to look forward to!
