Happy Birthday to Me!

So it's my birthday. Woo hoo! I feel like I'm having a pre-midlife crisis. Just a little. I mean, think about it. I'm 24. I'm in my mid-twenties. Isn't this the age that teens look forward to and older people strive the rest of their lives to recapture? Beyond this it's all slower metabolism, wrinkles, and gray hairs.
Not that I haven't accomplished a lot for my age. I'm married, have an amazing daughter, and I graduated with my Bachelor's in a reasonable amount of time. But there are still some things we haven't done, and it's beyond time. For example, I haven't found a decent job. That is the key to everything else, it seems.
Anyways, enough depression. It's my birthday! Will got me an incredible present, my mom is making me a giant cookie with frosting, Chaela is napping, and I'm going to have a shredded beef sandwich for lunch. Delicious. Also, Will is taking me out on Thursday (because we both have it off) to lunch and a movie. Yay! A date! To be honest, I think I'm looking forward to that more than anything.

Sorry I didn't call you on your birthday. A giant cookie?!?! It sounds like it was a great one!

I'm sure you are looking forward to a little alone time with Will. I bet you miss it.

Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Congrats on making it to 24!
