Alright, so I've been 23 years old for 3 days now, and life is the same. I didn't expect it to change but 23 was one of those ages that as a tween and later a teen, I thought I would never reach. If I did, then I would for certain have accomplished a great many things....more then what I have. Well, I guess the things that I have done are different then I ever imagined I would be doing, so then its ok. I never thought I would live on my own at 18, study to be a teacher, take a year off in the middle of my degree, go to Europe for 6 weeks by myself, or work in a Christian school....all things that I have not regretted. The 'plan' that I had for myself when I was younger was so different from what I have ended up doing. I never thought until my later highschool years that I would teach, and I certainly would be finished in record time because I knew what it was that I wanted to do with my life! This is already my fifth year and I have 2 more left until I can teach. 23 seemed like such an old age, but now its just an age and what does it really matter? Like I said, I haven't regretted any of the significant 'events' in the last 5 years, so who cares if they don't match up with a timeline? My timeline. I probably don't want the things that do work into it.
Yeah, so 23! I'm as weird, wacked, and chocolate addicted as when I was 22. Bring on 24! Let's see how many more changes come along and deviate from the 'plan'.

Its funny how 23 is the number we both imagined when we were kids as significant. Remember when i was 24 and mary gave me that card...about "not being married at 23"...well I am thankful...so much is happening and what we imagined will happen in the right time if its supposed to. Jessie lets revel in present...lets enjoy 23 and 27 more than any other year. Lets live. I love you soo very much my girl and I can't wait to see you again so we can enjoy some of these moments together.
