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:)

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!
