I'm 25

Okay so I'm a quarter of a century old. It seems like everyone is counting but me. To tell the truth, I haven't really enjoyed a birthday ever since I turned 20. Maybe getting older is just harder on the "youngest in the family". If you're the youngest, please give me feed back on this. But most people don't understand, and to make me feel better they always like to point out their own age and say something like, "try being 30 or at least your not 27 (thanks for that one Josh)". I'm sorry this doesn't help because I will be 27 and then 30.

Growing up I have always lied about my age, it always seemed like I was never old enough for anything. Having almost all of my friends being older than me didn't help the situation either. But it seemed like when I was growing up, I had the thought drilled into my head that I was ALWAYS going to be too young... well what a disappointment that turned out to be. Reality check. The only thing I'm too young for now is senior citizen parking.

Anyway, enough of that. I did have a great birthday. I was able to be part of an AMAZING photo shoot, more of that to come, and Josh was even nice enough to only put 9 candles on my cake, mostly because that's all we had.

I do have this little tradition I do for each birthday though. When I turned 20 I started making list of goals that I wanted to  accomplish that year. I would call the list 20 for 20 or now 25 for 25. There are goals that seem to role over each year; for instance, the motorcycle I have yet to buy or the airplane I am planning on jumping out of. But usually I do pretty well at accomplishing the goals I've set. So yes, I am looking forward to accomplishing my 25 for 25.
