My 27th year

A year ago yesterday I celebrated my 27th birthday. I remember talking about how the whole world took off for my birthday. The girls at my job got me some donuts and put a candle in one. They also all signed a card. I don't remember what else I did, where else I went, or what I got. It is, however, truly amazing to look back and note all the things that are different.

A year ago, I only had one child. I had a job. I had way more friends. I drank more coffee. I drank less water. I cooked less. I didn't have a gold star on my drivers license. I didn't have a child in school. I didn't have an iphone. I had way more friends (not necessarily a good thing)

Last year I wrote a letter to pastor Ben. I celebrated "Egg Day". I realized distance, marriage, nor blood make you family, but love and acceptance do. I started a YouTube channel. I came to the conclusion that I am a good mom... wait... a GREAT mom! I had to deal with some heart ache and heart break... and learn to just let things go. This past year, I learned some things about social networks are not all that great. I know that some people don't like me or accept me for who I am, and I've become ok with that. The truth is, I had to deal with drama between adults that was beyond ridiculous... and because of this drama... I deleted my facebook.


Overall I'd say it's been a successful year for me. I'm happy with where I am and who I'm friends with. There are some things I wish could have gone a little differently, but there's no sense in dwelling on things that I can't change, so instead I just have to take things how they are and enjoy what I've got.

To all my readers, thank you for being so faithful this past year and I look forward to another year of blogging :)
