  • All That Is to Come

    27.
    Every birthday I've felt the same.
    With maybe the exception of turning 18.
    But seriously, this birthday I feel different....
    Older.
    Hmmm...
    Maybe because we're in such an adult time in our lives right now.
    No, we're not having kids and we already did the marriage thing.
    Chad has a stable job (not tending horses, but rather a secure job)
    and I am going to finish my Bachelors... maybe be the oldest student in some of my classes...
    But there is something about buying a house that is so huge.
    So long term.
    So adult-ish.
    It's nerve racking and exciting and makes me feel older. :)

    My birthday was a blast though...
    It was drawn out (which I love)
    Several weeks prior I saw my family in Wisconsin and they threw me a birthday party.
    The only thing missing was my Aunt making me a pie.
    Every other birthday when I was home (which is rare) she would make me a pie of my choice.
    I always wanted Banana Cream Pie or Coconut Cream Pie.
    Omnomnomnom.....
    Anyway that was really fun and enjoyable.. :)
    Then the Saturday before my birthday I celebrated with Chad, my brother Matt and friends at Olive Garden.
    Then on my birthday Chad took me to dinner and a movie...
    That night Colby called and got the "last word" before the clock turned everything into a new day.
    And I still have a package coming in the mail from my best friend.... and another gift coming from Chad....
    So yeah... It's been a good long birthday. :)

    Looking forward to all that is to come. :)
