My last thoughts as a 23 year old...

So tomorrow I turn the big dos-quatro and I want to take the time to look back at this past year. I would like to think that this has been the best year ever for me. I'm trying to think back to any events that have occured from when I turned 23 to now...my last day as a 23 year old. I turned 23 on a Wednesday so mom, dad, Jaace, and I just went to Werner's and ate...didn't even feel like it was my birthday...I think that weekend we partied and I am sure I had a good time but I don't remember it. Christmas 2007 was alright but I was missing something and had a void that could not be filled...it sucked being single at this time of the year. Erin and I pretty much partied those 2 weeks of Christmas vacation and we had a blast...the only day we didn't was when we went to see P.S. I Love You and we balled our eyes out and were forever in love with Irish men. New Years was alright too...but again it sucked to be single...the family and friends partied at the poolhouse and I met up with Erin at Scooters later that night. We had fun but it would have been a whole lot better kissing someone at midnight rather than watching other people...Yuck! But we still had fun. Then it was Jenny and Nick's wedding...it was awesome. From that moment on, my year as a 23 year old got a 100 times better. I have really grown up and matured this past year and I do think it was because of Thomas. I had a blast when I was single but having Thomas in my life is a whole lot more fun and better. I look back from before I have met Thomas to now and this is the happiest I have ever been in my life. He has taken me places I have never been, he always surprises me with little gifts or just sweet little comments, if I'm upset he knows how to make me laugh and calm me down, I love when we are going somewhere he shares little bits of information and tries to teach me new things, he has such big aspirations and always wants better, and I love when we are laying in bed and he is either there or even on the phone and we talk about our future together. My year as a 23 year has been pretty exciting and fun, and I cannot wait for when I am 24 tomorrow. It is crazy to think that a year has gone by already. It has gone by so fast and I cannot wait to see what all happens this coming year.

My thoughts on my 23rd year:

-I have more aches and pains when I get up than before

-I go to bed at like 8:30 every night...on weekends I got to bed fairly early too

-I don't party as much as I used to

-The places I used to hang out don't seem as much fun because I feel old there

-I don't let things really bother me that are petty

-I speak up for myself more now than I ever have

-I care about my finances more

-I talk about work in my conversations with people...YUCK!

-When I get dressed, I think about comfort before cuteness

-No more partying on weekdays, just weekends if I'm not too tired

-Hangovers take longer to get rid of

-I don't drink as much as I used to

*these are my thoughts and how I have changed over the year

One last thing:
Thomas and I will be dating for 8 months on Saturday! I cannot believe it already. It has gone by so fast!
