Gettin' Deep.

Y'all bear with me, I'm about to go pretty deep here on the ole' blog. No worries...nothing pertaining to politics, religion, or sex; you can breathe, we will save those taboo subjects for another day. I'm here to talk about aging. And life. And time.

I am TWENTY SEVEN years young.

I am TWENTY FREAKING SEVEN, already!?!

I swear, I go back and forth between these two emotions all the time. With respect to most aspects of my life now, (you know...now that I've tied the knot, graduated college and graduate school, got a big girl job...etc.) I feel young. I feel like I am just getting started...I haven't even been in the "real" world for two years yet. I feel energized, full of life, and ready to go at a moments notice.

And then, I get this sinking, weird feeling that I will wake up and be 47 before I know it. And, I am NOT here to say that being 47 is a bad thing or that you can't still be energized and full of life, because I hope to still be rockin' at that YOUNG age...I'm just kinda freaking out about it all coming too quickly and not really living life, you know. It seems we always have something going on, which makes the weeks FLY by and the next thing you know...bam, we have almost been married for two years and it is FREAKING 2011 ( did anyone else never think that year would come?). Anyways, back to the point... I sometimes get overwhelmed thinking about all that will go on and happen in the next phase of my life and wonder how there will be time for it all. Does that sound crazy? I just want to SOAK up every last bit life has to offer, I am scared of it going by too quickly. How do you do that?

My best friend from home got engaged this weekend, I am over the moon excited for them. I introduced them ELEVEN years ago. Did I say that right? ELEVEN. We were in high school, first week at the beach. It feels like a lifetime ago...I don't feel old enough for it to have been so long ago. But yet, here we are... such is life right!?!

Here's to living life to the fullest everyday!

And for fun.....I do 100% LOVE my life right now and everyone and everything in it (well, maybe not everything...bills suck.) I wouldn't change anything for the world...BUT, it would be fun to do it all again, right?

I swear this was yesterday...21st birthday, senior year of college, renting a house for the first time, living with best friends, no bills, little worries, parties, sharing closets, no class Fridays, the list goes on...it's fun to reminisce every once in a while right:)

  1. Life is Sweet : The McClain FamilyFebruary 18, 2011 at 2:36 PM

    that is so funny because I was reminiscing about college on Saturday after eating Grouchos in Clemson listening to O.A.R remembering lots of road trips up that way. It really does FLY BY too fast. I hate it! When people say "enjoy these years in college, savor every second - they go by too fast" ...listen people. Listen!

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
