Fallen Souffle

It’s true, I turned 25 yesterday. It is the first birthday that really got to me. I am no longer the young, free spirited girl I used to be (Ok I was never really free spirited but play along) now I am a mature, sophisticated woman (stop laughing, keep playing). I did alot of reflection on the past 25 years, I have done alot and been alot of places but am I really the person I want to be? There are things I like and don’t like about myself and I have decided this is the time to do something about the things I don’t like.

I also want to focus on some goals of mine; I feel like I am in a good place in my life, I have a wonderful husband, a house, two great dogs, a great relationship with my family and a job that I take pride in. So now it’s time to take the next step towards self improvement. I recently completed a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. I won’t post it right now, I need to sort it and make it look pretty, but is essentially a list of 101 things I want to accomplish in 1001 days (a little over 2 1/2 years), Yesterday was day one so we will see how the list goes.

I had a pretty low key birthday, I didn’t do any housework the entire weekend, I did a little shopping and made a cheesecake (recipe to come) and pretty much relaxed. This is probably the first birthday I have had that was this relaxed but it was nice. Evan and I decided not to exchange birthday or Christmas presents with each other, instead we will save our money and go on a nice trip- hopefully around our anniversary in March Though he did buy me flowers and made an amazing dinner followed by cake at my in-laws. And today a beautiful bouquet was delivered to my office (a perk of working a real job!) from my parents.

So overall, I realized I am quite blessed and have many things to look forward to in the years to come.
