Happy 25th Birthday to Me

Today at 11:06 am I will turn 25 years old! I am having a hard time this morning thinking about how young and grown up that sounds all at the same time. If I feel that way, I wonder how my parents feel having a kid that has grown up to be 25. I do not have a lot to report this morning. I have been awake since about 5am. No actually it was 5:23 am exactly when I rolled over this morning and realized that it was this birthday that I have been excited about and dreading for a year now. I wanted to have so much to report by the time I reached this age, but sadly no such luck. Or do I?

Yesterday after noon while driving to Drummonds, I was talking to a long time friend of mine Jullay and she reminded me about how blessed I am. I get on this blog and out in the real world sometimes and talk about what I don't have and forget about what I do have. She expressed about how jealous she has always been about the close knit connection that I have with my family. It just stopped me, cold. I am so very blessed with this family that often is a source of entertainment for me, friends, and blog entries. Yesterday was a pretty tough day for me and they were there for me. They have all called and texted to tell me how sympathetic they were for my situation. What situation you ask? It will be explained in a blog to follow. I can't write about it today because it is my birthday and I am attempting not to cry. Back on topic, I really did want to say thank you and I love you guys from the bottom of my heart. I love my family even if I do get angry and make fun of them sometimes.

So, Happy Birthday to me today. I do have some great plans planned for tonight. Big and I have reservations for a wonderful meal. Before the formal celebration begins, we are going to have girls day at the pool today. Lord knows that I am in need for a drink. Family, this one is a thank you note from Meggie on my birthday. I love you and will never forget why I do.

To my Mom and Dad today: I love you and I know you love me. This day in the history of our lives is a special day as well as several other days, but this one is my day. Thank you guys for being amazing parents that taught me about values, loyalty, generosity, strength, and compassion. I could not have better roles models and would never trade that. I love the two of you so very much.

Until next time, Happy 25th Birthday to Me today, and it didn't feel as bad as I thought it would.
