I got asked the other day how is feels to be turning 22 this week. I thought about it and I couldn't think of one thing exiting about turning 22. I can already buy dry ice blocks to ride down on hills. I can already purchase alcohol to go home and pour down the drain or keep in my cupboard for when I become a alcoholic because of my job :)! I can drive, been driving for nearly 6 years now, only slightly better from when I just got my license, but now don't have the same enthusiasm to do it...in fact I hate it! I can date...but no need for that anymore...it sucked anyway...and I came up with the perfect solution! I got married! I now have a permanent partner to have tag along with me for all sorts of boring or uplifting events and I don't even have to dress to impress anymore...I can go in my pj's(even though I don't, in all reality I always look nicer than him :)) sooooo what is so exciting about this birthday? And then I realized all the things to be celebrating! In the past year I got married to my best friend in the whole world! I have learned the importance of everyday items such as toilet paper that drain your bank account. I have grown an appreciation for my mom and all the amazing meals she would have set at the dinner table each night, I hate cooking especially when I am the one paying for the ingredients! I have gone alot of sleepless nights without killing anyone from eric's snoring. I have had the great experince of actually begging for my period to come to know that I wouldn't soon become a mother when I can barely keep up with the child I married. I have had that great sigh of relief when hearing a tragic breakup story realizing I am done with that stuff(sorry Pam and Jen, I love you). I have dealt with my battles of rebellion(well most of them). I have grown a greater appreciation for eternal marriage and the gospel!
I have been truly blessed! 21 has done me good...I bet 22 can even do me better......
