birthday girl.

My Birthday weekend was great! I wish I could have dragged it out for the whole week. By the end of Sunday night I was pretty bummed out that the weekend was over. The weekend was full of lots of yummy food, sleeping in, spending quality time with the hubberz (thanks Trevor for the best birthday in a long time!) friends, and did I mention lots of yummy food?! hahaha

Thank you all for the birthday wishes via comments, facebook, and twitter! :) I am feelin' the love!

Oh and if you didn't notice, I am on Instagram now! Let me tell you... this app is addicting!
Come find me so I can find you :)
                

twenty three years.

I feel like every child has an age in their head when they think they will be "old." Well for me... that was the age of 23. I know that this is laughable now, to think that 23 years old means you are "old" but that is truly what I thought. Being 23 seemed SO far away, and it seemed like being that age meant I was truly an adult, and when you are a kid, you think all adults are old.

So here I am. I am now 23 as of today (the day after ground hog's day) and do I feel "old"? Well yes and no. I have graduated from college, I am married, I am working full time and supporting me and my husband while he goes to law school. I guess you could say, I am an adult! But I still feel young. I guess that is where the term young adult comes in.

You always try to imagine where you will be in life at certain ages. To be honest, where I am now, what I am doing, and who I am with, is not really what I imagined.

But life has a way of changing your plans on you... and I am so grateful for that. I truly am happy.

Some fun things Trevor pointed out to me about my birthday today...

This birthday is as close as I will ever get to celebrating my golden birthday, seeing I was three when that happened.  You see Trevor pointed out that I will be 23 on 2/3 :) haha

Trevor also said to me (with a big smile on his face mind you)

"I was 23 when I met you :)"

Zumba!

I recently joined a gym and have had a lot of fun attending a bunch of different classes. One of those classes is Zumba. The other day some of the girls and I that go together were talking about how you start to feel like you are really getting good... like you must look as good as the teacher because you are having so much fun... then you take a peek at yourself in the mirror... and well...

 

 HA HA, Does anyone else experience this?!
