What does one do, when you're stuck in a crowd of people, all of them at least 3 years older than you (except for the one boy i talked to that was younger than me, but of course he wasn't there at the moment), and they all think that you're their age. and then they find out that you're not even 20. and they're all amazed. but, this isn't some feat on your part. it's not your fault that your parents had you in '92 instead of '88. or even '81. it's not some amazing thing, it just is what it is. but, the beans got spilled, and there's that awkward moment where no one knows what to say, because they're all gawking over the fact that you're so young (and you're wondering why they are all so old, and still single). and all you can say is,"yup. i'm kinda young." and hope that some brilliant idea for a conversation starter just pops into your head. but it doesn't ever come fast enough.
guess i should just take the compliment that they all thought i was older than i really am?
awkward...

19 years
Today, I turned 19. Nothing too special really. no new privalges or anything fun. just a year older and hopefully a year wiser.
And because it's my 19th bday, and i have a job, I had to work. all. day.
so that was kind of a bummer. well, it was a bummer.
BUT, I got got to go out to breakfast AND lunch with my favorite Dad. And though no one in the office new/remembered it was my bday, lots of people on facebook did, and i got lots of delightful texts throughout the day.
When I got home, there were balloons and streamers and mom was making birthday dinner. yum! my puppy was there to say hi to me, and the siblings actually wanted to spend time with me! imagine that! ;)
anyways. we had brownies and ice cream, and opened some wonderful, thoughtful gifts.
then i got a text saying to look out side.
look at the remnants of the beautiful sunset I was given for my birthday :)
When all is said and done, though I certainly don't feel any different/older, I had a great day. Mostly because of wonderful people like YOU! Thanks for all YOU do! :D

Monkey Days
Last week I got to go rick climbing at the largest gym in the nation with a couple of my friends. And though it was hard, and I'd only done it one other time, we had an absolute blast!
Hopefully I'll get the chance to go again sometime soon! I definitely recommend it if you've never gone!

100 (take 2)
We made it!
This is post number
ONE-HUNDRED
Feel free to throw a party if you would like.
If I had the time, I would as well. It's a pretty big event.
There would be 100 balloons. And a variety of foods, with 100 pieces each.
I would invite 100 people, and play games involving the number 100. It would be bigger than 100-day in elementary school.
But alas, I do not indeed have the time or money to throw a party that big and wonderful, so I'll let you be in charge of that.
Or you can just imagine such a party and we'll call it good.
Yeah, I like that plan better.
