So yes, I re-counted and that is my actual age. 24 + 1 week and a couple days now.
While many will say "You are still young", and I guess in the spectrum on things I still am. But I just felt so much older this year. My middle sister turned 21, I remember turning 21. My baby sister will be 18 and is applying to colleges, I remember doing the very same things. And it sure doesn't seem like that was 6 years ago already. I guess that is probably why I feel old, I actually remember things now.
Anyway, enough of that walk down memory lane. :)
My birthday was a great day spent in Michigan surrounded by the people that I love and love me the most. Both sides of my extended family were able to go on the adventure of "sledding." Haha, too many people going down the hill at the same time does make for a few crash landings! But overall a great time.
And then last weekend, Ben and I celebrated my birthday just the two of us. We ordered pizza, Ben made me a chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting and just had a nice quiet evening.
Below you will see some of the wonderful gifts my Husband spoiled me with:
Stone and Metal Candlestick holders
And Flowers
Twenty three was a great year and I am looking forward to all the "young" things I am going to do in year 24. It is a good thing my husband is 23 going on 3 - or at least has that kind of energy for life!
Thank you all for the many birthday wishes, cards, and phone calls!
