• I’m 25 +2…

  “So when we’re little, we’re 4, 5, or 6, we want to be 12.
  When we’re 11 or 12 we want to be teenagers.
  When we’re teenagers we want to be 18.
  When we’re 18 we want to be 21.
  When we’re 21 we want to be 25.
  When we’re 30 we want to be 25.“

  So my birthday was this past weekend and it was definitely one of the most active birthdays that I’ve had for a long time. Honestly, the week leading up to my birthday, I was feeling somewhat uneasy and unsure about it. Partly due to the somewhat plain nature of becoming 27. It isn’t as significant as when one crosses into teenager years, or when one is lawfully allowed to drink beer, or when one doesn’t have to pay the extra fees associated with renting a car (Yes, that was a big deal to me.). The one thing I knew about becoming 27 was I am 3 years away from becoming 30…

  However, my best friend really put in a lot of effort and planning in making this weekend enjoyable and easier to transition into another year on the Earth. She told me later on that she just wanted me to be able to be with good friends during this occasion and that I would remember the blessings that He’s given to me. I appreciated that and the effort that friends and family put in during the weekend. Thank you all for those smalls emails, facebook writings, hugs, pats on the back, good food, great chuckles, and just your company. Kudos to y’all! Being 27 isn’t so bad after all.
