It's called Twenty-Four. It was my favorite song on that album when it came out, and I listened to it over and over again.
Back then, I wasn't twenty-four yet, but I was so excited to get there.
Now, I am days away from twenty-eight...and I'm not so excited anymore.
My life definitely has not turned out the way I thought it was going to. My career plans didn't happen, I didn't finish college, and I don't have any babies.
(Me, 20 years ago)
Yet, I couldn't be happier with the way my life is at this moment.
I'm not excited about getting older...because it means it's one more year closer to 30...and another year without a baby.
But I am happy that I have a loving husband (of almost 5 years!!), a place to live, the most amazing friends a girl could ask for, an amazingly supportive family, a job that I love (with the best bosses ever), and a church family that I love like they are my blood.
I may not have everything I've ever wanted...but I have everything I need, and so much more. I have things I never thought I wanted, and that is amazing.
My life is not perfect...I have good days and bad...I am not always content or satisfied...but most of the time, I am happy...and that is much more than I deserve.
Tomorrow starts a fun weekend of celebrating...and I am ready for it. I have so much to celebrate and be thankful for.
