Today (well sorta today, its passed midnight at this point - but who's counting?) I celebrated my 23rd birthday. Im not a huge fan of turning 23. It seems old to me. Although, I know its not at all. For some reason odd birthdays just are no fun to me. 22 is fun - and I think i'll like 24. But all the odd years to come just seem plain old boring. I know this is a silly thought, but i just had to say it. :)
Aside from this being an "odd" birthday year, I really am excited about this next year of my life. 22 was a hard year for me. But at the same time, a great one! I grew up a lot in 22. Had to deal with things I never thought i'd deal with. Despite 23 sounding not so fun to me, I think God has big things planned for me this year. I'm excited to be in the place I am at in life right now. I feel something big coming around the corner for me. All I have to do is be patient, trust in the Lord and give life my all.
So cheers to a new year and new beginnings!

p.s. Heres my birthday cake, along with my birthday cake topper. Yep, I made my own topper - so what?!
I didn't mind 23, I hated turning 24 - it was my first crappy birthday! Lol! I'm turning 25 in a week and well, that's old. Plain and simple. I'm kinda not looking forward to it. But happy birthday anyway!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I'm having something similar in the wedding. I'm turning 26 in Oct! I feel so close to 30 haha. At least everyone still tell me I look 17.
ReplyDeletei'm just a few months behind you & am feeling weird about 23, too! mostly though, just because i'll have a kid & i feel like 23 is too YOUNG for that! haha. miss you lots, jules. love your birthday cake :)))
ReplyDeletehaha. that's hilarious. i'm the exact opposite. i don't like even numbers. i hate being 22. i loved 21 and i'm going to love 23.
