OKAY so how weird is it that this is my 25th post and it's going to be about my apprehension about turning 25?????? WOWZA! That's strange...
Anyway... it is my last day being 24 years old. Truthfully I'm better with it now than I was a month ago. My issues with turning 25 are really quite silly... basically... I'm not married and I don't have kids... both of which I thought I would have before I turned 25. I know that when I set that age as being the time that my "adult" life would start was pretty silly because 25 really isn't that old. My Mom didn't even have me until she was 27 BUT she had been married for 3 years by the time she was 25....
SO... having gone through a lot of changes in the last year I've decided to embrace turning 25, or at least try to embrace turning 25... I mean think of all the blessings that are in my life as I turn 25.... think of all that I have accomplished in 25 years, in the last year! Here's my list of 25 as I turn 25.....
1. I am alive
2. I am healthy
3. I have an amazing job
4. I am with the love of my life
5. I have the best biological and un-biological siblings in the whole wide world- Bill, Rhea and Leah- I love you guys!
