All good things.

Hey.


Hey.


You there.


Yes, you.


...guess what?




I'm 25!


Yesterday was my birfday.  And somehow I managed to do all the things I really love doing, all in one day:  going to work, going to church, talking to my mommy, getting in a great workout at the gym, eating tasty vegetarian food, and seeing awesome people.  WIN.


And now I'm 25 and feelin' alive!  I'm really excited about being 25.  I feel like this is the part in my life where I can be less crazy.  And poor.  (Sorry, but my early twenties were just a mess, and I was horribly broke because of college!)  Vance promised that this is the year when I'll finally tackle my goal of riding a horse.  It snowed yesterday, so I suppose it's not quite good weather for a first horseback ride.  (Do horses like snow? I have no idea.)  But this summer...it. is. goin'. down.  I promise I will post a picture of it. 




While I was sitting in sacrament yesterday, something very strange dawned on me.  I was thinking about what I should really get myself - to celebrate the start of my 25th year - and I really didn't know.  I have been thinking for weeks!  It almost bothered me, that I didn't know what would be a really good present to myself - something worthy of being able to make it out alright for 25 years...That's when I realized it - it's because I don't want anything.  Really.  There is nothing in the world right now that I terribly want.  I'm not in terrible need for anything, either. (I mean, well, except health insurance. But that's something for another time.)

Life is....just really good. 


I felt very thankful.


And I still feel thankful.
