I turned 24!! Okay I lie. I turned 25. I've always had it set in my mind that when I was 25 I would be finished with college and have a career. I would be getting ready to get married and not have any kids, yet.
OBVIOUSLY I do things a little backwards. I have 1 of my own kid plus a Kadynce, I'm not engaged (ehemmm, JD...), I'm not finished with college, and my job is not very good at paying me good.
I told JD that I was going to stay 24 and he told me "Well, your car insurance will go down when you turn 25." YES!! I got excited; he knows exactly what to say to make me feel better ;)
Then I got to thinking:
I am one year closer to having everything I want. Not to mention, 25 sounds pretty sexy and sophisticated ;)
I am very grateful and happy at where my life is, no matter what age I am. Although I am letting life take it's natural course, I am motivated to get the things I want and the things my family wants.
I AM in college, I DO have a job, I LOVE my kids, and I LOVE my future husband. Again, I am grateful to have all these things in my life.
I will post all of my gifts, thank you's, and celebrations in a later day after I go shopping again ;)
This is how my actual birthday took place:
JD slept in to tell me Happy Birthday before he went to work (I'm sure that wasn't his plan, but it was a pretty good excuse for sleeping in a little). I begged and begged, but Oakley would NOT tell me happy birthday before I dropped her off at daycar. Little brat! I got happy birthday texts and Facebook posts. My co-employees gave me a gift card for ColdStone Ice Cream; they know me all too well. People at work told me happy birthday. I decided I needed a birthday lunch so I left work at 12:30 and JD met me at Good Wood for lunch where I ordered a yum adult lemonade. After lunch we went shopping! By shopping I mean JD followed me around the whole mall and I only bought a couple things, all in one store. Not a shopping day for me, I must try again this weekend! More happy birthday texts and FB posts. We picked up the girls. I begged Oakley again. Fail. BUT Kadynce told me!! Aww it was so sweet! I poured me some wine, put on The Voice and cuddled with JD whenever he wasn't taking care of the girls- my day off!! After they ate they came and cuddled, too! We then went to Spoon Me and got my free birthday ice cream!! Did you know they did that on your birthday? I sure knew!!
I love my birthday and all the "Happy Birthdays" I get!
