Feelin 22

 

So here it is, a few weeks after my 22nd birthday. I was showered with love, spending my actual birthday shopping and relaxing, eating a late lunch with my mom and sister at Red Elephant and later picking up Chick-fil-A with G and eating in bed haha! The next day we hit the road for Gainesville around 9:30. I was so excited to visit Mattie and see where she has lived for the past 6 months. We also took Britt along as a surprise and we had such a fun afternoon, finally eating at a Mexican restaurant for my birthday! It was such a fun day and I can't wait until we can go again.

I feel older every day but 22 is almost like a gut punch. I haven't been the same digits since my 11th birthday and won't be again until I turn 33 (scary...) A lot has happened since I was 11 and I know a lot will happen in the next ten years. My wish is that ten years from now, I am just as happy and content with my life as I am today. I have a lot to be thankful for: a roof over my head, my paid off car, my supportive boyfriend and family, a job that I've been at for almost 5 years, all the dog and kitty cuddles I could ask for, but most importantly, being genuinely happy with how my life is today. I can only hope I still feel this way in ten years.

May is a busy month for me. I started my first summer class, Sales. It was fast paced and intense, the final is Thursday. It went extremely fast. My birthday has came and went. Garett's little sister turns 16 this month. Garett closed on his very first home. We already live in the house, but he officially made it his. I'm so proud of him and how hard he has worked to make this happen! And my baby sister will be closing out an important chapter of her life by graduating high school. I already know I will be an emotional wreck come May 27th. The past four years have gone so fast. When I graduated, she started high school. And now both of the Kinsey girls are officially adults. It's bittersweet for sure. May has always been a good month for me and I have no doubt the rest of the month will be just as good as the beginning.

This past weekend we had a graduation party for Britt at my dads. It went super smoothly, the weather was not terrible, and we didn't run out of food. We had a grand time, just enjoying each others company and eating a lot. I know she will always remember who came and celebrated her. Next weekend is graduation and I am so not ready. Mattie was able to come to Britts party and it was so awesome seeing her. We will have to make a trip to Gainesville again soon. She really is my best friend.

I wrote a lot of this blog entry in the beginning of May and just came back to it. It still feels weird being 22, but I am so excited for the future and to see where life takes me. Until next time,
