Reflections

Today is my 25th birthday and I've been reminiscing about where I thought that I would be at 25. In high school, I was convinced that I would already be married and already have a kid. This is a very frightening thought to my actual 25-year-old self - who is okay with not being married and is VERY OKAY with not having any children.

I'm feeling good about where I am and about where Erik and I are right now. I am sure that Erik and I are doing this at the right time, in the right way. Of course, I would have liked to have been engaged before this summer, but having about a year to plan is plenty and I have to say that the proposal was worth the wait!

What's weird about this birthday is that I have been looking forward to it since I turned 22. And now that I'm here it feels a little anti-climatic. Of course, I'm pumped about having my insurance go down and about being able to rent a car without being charged $25 (an ironic amount) per day in addition to the normal cost of a rental. The funny thing is that the number one thing I wanted for my birthday was rollerblades, and Erik totally made my wish come true! It's a little silly because I think I wanted rollerblades for my 12th bday... but oh well! I can't wait to hit the pavement! :D
