I have always been super pumped about ringing in my birthdays. Gettin' crazy with friends, having an excuse to party for two weeks straight. Well, not so much this year. I'm dreading the age I'm turning. I've passed my early twenties and have now gone on to being in my 'mid' twenties. I'm not the least bit old, but 2....6. 26. two six. twenty six! wow! really?! 26? I honestly dont know if I'll ever feel like an adult. Will it just one day click that I'm an adult. Does it come with age? Will I just wake up one day and feel older? Will I just turn around and then be a responsible mature adult? I ask this question to myself all the time. If anyone has any suggestions or advice, please let me know! I'm willing to listen! (See, thats adult of me!) lol. I'm such a kid at heart I think I've ruined myself for life. Dang it! Oooh well. For the most part, I think I've come a long way! I think.
Another year has come and gone, and here I am—mid-January already. Christmas was spent with family, as always. The holidays tend to be chaotic, rushing back and forth across town to visit everyone. 2024 was truly a memorable year for me! So many milestones to reflect on: I turned 40. I participated in two amateur horse shows. I earned my motorcycle endorsement. (I conquered the Twisted Sisters route on my motorcycle!) My brother bought a new house (so proud of him—just waiting for a new sister-in-law now!). I celebrated my 10-year wedding anniversary. And I hit my 2-year mark with my company. It’s been a year of highs and some lows, but I think the highs outweighed the lows—or maybe I just blocked the lows out entirely (I do have a knack for that, haha!). While my memory isn’t quite where I wish it was, I’ve been making an effort to shake things up and challenge myself with new activities. It feels good to break out of the routine and keep my mind sharp. I’ve started gaming recent...
