"I speak truth, not so much as I would, but as much as I dare; and I dare a little more, as I grown older."-Catherine Drinker Bowen
Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to myself, Happy Birthday to me!
Considering that this is my last year as a twenty something year old, I thought that I would write a blog about the accomplishments or stuff that I have had happen to me as a twenty something year old.
20 years old…it begins here…nothing happened except for changing my major from Early Childhood Education to English with a minor in Communication and celebrating the fact that I am no longer a teenager.
21 years old…didn't get drunk on my 21st birthday like some people that I know and for that I am proud that I didn't even do that…gosh, I suck don't I?
22 years old…again nothing really happened except for breaking up with my first serious boyfriend (trust me it was for the best)…boring!!
23 years old…became a United States citizen!! Yeah!!! I also reconnected with the guy who would bec
ome my husband.
24 years old…got engaged to the most wonderful man in the world and graduated from Emporia State University with a degree in English and a minor in Communication…sweet huh?
25 years old…got married to the most wonderful man in the world and moved out of Kansas to Ithaca, NY the day after we got married with no clothes or anything (got my clothes later by the way)…what a change huh?
26 years old…decided that I want to go back to school for Nursing since working for Wal-Mart as a Pharmacy Technician has inspired me to help others that are in need. Also celebrated my first year of marriage
27 years old…moved to Worth, Illinois from Ithaca, New York…what a change of scenery huh? Didn't work for Wal-Mart anymore, but worked for Walgreen's. That was a change and I don't think I could do it again even though I would love to become a Certified Pharmacy Technician…
28 years old… had a 10 year high school reunion…got robbed in Iowa on my way back to Illinois and became a victim of Identity Theft (worse 2 months of my life)… moved back to Ithaca, New York…whoopee!! Nothing much went on but went back to Wal-Mart as a Pharmacy Technician and dealing with all the changes that has happened since I have moved back….also, living my brothers-in-law and mother-in-law (which has made me a better person towards them) also James and I moved into our new apartment and we are loving every moment of it!!!
29 years old….waiting for the six month period to get over and done with so I can apply to local universities or community colleges for Nursing Schools…
I just noticed that I said "huh" a lot. Sorry about that. God only knows what is going to happen to me when I approach the year of the big 30 but I know one thing that is going to happen when I am 30…celebrating 5 years of marriage! I also hope that I can say that I am back at school and pregnant or even had my first child. So, who all knows? Heck, I think that I may even still have my MySpace/Facebook account by the time I am in my late 30s…yikes!
I just can't believe that I am 29 years old. I don't even look like that I am 29 years old. It's been a wild 9 years and I guess I am ready to face the music as they say. Goodness, in 9 days, James will be 29 and he does kind of looks like he will be 29. Then again he doesn't…I guess it's the gray hair he has. Speaking of which, I haven't seen a gray hair on my head since I have gotten married (knock on wood and it was only one strand).
I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes! I am surprised that I have the day off for my birthday. Then again, I do have Mondays and Tuesdays off so go figure. I have yet to find out what James got me for my birthday so I am excited for that. Although Grandma and Grandpa Shew (James' grandparents) gave me a nice card and fifty dollars that go along with it (happens every year).
I guess I am done but then again, I am not sure if I am. So much has happened while I was in my 20s and again God only knows what is in store for me when I am in my 30s. I have lived a good life so far and I am patiently (notice I said patiently) waiting to see what will happen. I am ready for what is in store. I have God, James, my friends and family to support me along the way and with them, anything and everything is possible.
Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to myself, Happy Birthday to me!
