I’ve been dreading this birthday for awhile; something about turning a quarter of a century made me a bit uneasy. Part of the uneasiness could possibly have come from the fact that my early twenties have been consumed by planning a wedding and then diving head first into diapers, diapers and more diapers. How can 5 years fly by so fast? As a result of the apparent time warp I’ve found myself in I approached this birthday with a little bit of apprehension and was surprised to be greeted with a warm welcoming hand. I was actually happy that my birthday fell on Thanksgiving which meant that on top of just having a birthday we had a large turkey dinner with wonderful food and good company…and the new addition, Annabelle. I was overjoyed to see that my sister had baked me a yummy cake and had even written my name on it!

The funniest thing of all is that they had no idea what the other was getting for me! Too funny. I got such a kick out of it. I also got some cash from my brother and sister-in-law to get some new clothes from Joe Clothing which means even more to me now that I’m thrifting for a year. I’m very excited to go and buy a new sweater for winter. All-in-all it was a wonderful day and I’m very happy with how it all played out. I don’t feel as nervous about being 25 now that I’ve stopped being silly and realized that God has a lot in store for me this year…and now that I have two cute bags to carry me through this next year I’m ready to tackle anything! well, maybe not anything.
