Twenty-Four

I'm not sure what I thought I would be doing at 24 when I was younger, but I'm pretty sure I thought that you were a REAL adult then.

You we're officially a "grown-up."

Yeah, 18 is really the age you become an "adult" but let's face it - most of us don't act like it.

I always thought I would have a good job, lots of friends, a boyfriend, living on my own in a cool apartment. Lots of money to spend on myself. Really fancy clothes. All that good stuff.

For the most part I have all that.

A fiance in my case. Renting a house. Some good friends. I do have a good job. Not lots of money, but enough to get by. Clothes aren't too fancy.

And I'm completely content with that right now.

But I don't feel like this birthday is as life changing as I imagined when I was younger.

It's almost just another day - except I actually have a good [instead of a crappy one] excuse to eat cake.

I do feel like I'm at the age where life gets a lot more serious.

Obviously, I'm getting married this year. My fiance and I plan on beginning the house hunting process towards the end of the year. We do want to have kids sooner, rather than much later. 

I think 24 is the year where I get my life together.

And I think I'm ready for the journey.

With y'all following along of course. :)

Sunday afternoon we headed over to my mom's house to celebrate me turning twenty-four with my family. My mama made yummy lasagna and bought my favorite - cookie cake.
It was nice to spend it with my family, including my grandparents and aunt.

But Maci kinda stole the show with her cuteness. :)
You'll see.

And now for the rest of my birthday - I'll be cozying it up on the couch with my honey bunny, Moo & Hank because SCHOOL IS CANCELLED Y'ALL!

Thank you -10 degree weather. :)
