7/6/87

Well it was my birthday last week.
You know they really don't have that excitement anymore but they do still have a bit of a glow.
24
Doesn't seem like a monumental year for me. 25 will be more so.
It does feel good to get some years on my bones. I feel like I've been running ahead of my age for a long time now and my body is finally catching up. I've thought I was so mature and grown for the longest time. Why? It's so boring and so not the case. I like that I am a baby still. 

My favorite game to play now that I'm a grown up? 
"What I learned this year"
My biggest lesson learned this year is how to be alone. 
and to be happy alone.
Yes of course I have a beautiful family and I really haven't experienced the real "aloneness" but I've learned the "independent" aloneness. 
It has been a process but I suppose I've always been pre-purposed for it.
My brother aptly assigned me "Rupunzel" as my Disney princess because I could keep myself occupied alone in a tower all day.
I laughed really hard when I heard that.
but 
I'm happy with it :)


 This will always be my best birthday present.
Carie's friend took this shot and it just made me laugh.
I guess you could call that look plastered on both our faces "the williams sneer"
We are only who we are 
 we pass down only who we are.
Happy Birthday to me 
:)

SOOOOO Sad that I wasn't there to celebrate with you. Twenty four is a GREAT age, but I want you to move back closer during 25. You've learned the alone thing...lesson over....come home! Can't wait for next week!!! XOXO
