So friends, I guess I'm officially 24 years old now. Mid-20's.
I rarely make New Years resolutions, but I do make "age resolutions." My goals for age 23 were to start working out and to run a 1/2 marathon. Well, after doing Insanity (it actually is insane. I wanted to throw up or die during every workout) and running, I accomplished my goal and finished the 13.2 miles in 2 hours and 9 minutes. I never stopped running the entire time and I'm proud of my time!
For age 24 I have some bigger resolutions/goals. This year I want to work out my MIND!! (That was suppose to be overly cheesey) I want to go back to school. I'm not exactly sure what I want to major in yet (which has been a large contributor of why I haven't gone back until now) but I think I'll figure it out soon. I at least know what I don't want to do. So, I applied to BYU-Idaho for hopefully Fall/Winter semester- but we'll see. It will be nice to return. I won't have to transfer credits and I'll be around people just like me. Plus, BYU-I has much more to offer than a typical state school- smaller classes, teachers that remember your name, a fast track where you can attend school 3 semesters a year instead of 2, and really inexpensive tuition. We're moving to Southeast Idaho as soon as one of us can find a job.
My other goal is mostly for my family, but it's to have our Independence back!! I can't wait to reunite with our belongings safely stored in 2 separate storage units. It's been 2 years since I've even seen our beautiful black breakfast buffet table. That reunion will definitely be sweet/similar to Christmas morning.
So there you go.
Oh, you want to know how my Birthday went yesterday?
Great! I got to sleep in until 10:30. My mom took me to lunch and Dustin took me to KFC (it's what I wanted) and to get dessert at Papa Haydens in Portland. Dustin surprised me with a mini fridge stocked with beverages galore and the first season of The Middle. I also got a creme brulet torch w/ ramekins, some cute clothes, jewelry, some awesome sandwich shape cutters (which even got Lillie to eat her entire heart-shaped PB&J today), a gift card to Applebees, VS lipgloss, shower gel, slippers, OPI nail polish, and even a homemade cherry cheesecake from my visiting teachers!
But I have to say, the best gift of all was logging on to facebook today to see my entire page full of Birthday wishes. Who doesn't love that?

Happy Belated Birthday! I'm pretty sure I missed you on facebook yesterday because my day was insane. I love your goals for this year, especially the one about going back to school. It's tough sometimes, but I'm sure you'll do great and you'll find the perfect major and it will be a great blessing to your little family.
Happy Birthday!!! I like your goals for this year.
Glad you had a good birthday! You got some great stuff. What color is the OPI? (What a nerd that I ask that ha ha.) I like the new fonts on the blog, that's fun!
Happy LATE Birthday! It sounds like it was what a birthday should be :) Good luck finding a job & hopefully moving soon too!
Happy belated birthday! Sounds like you have some fabulous plans for this year. Personally, I think you should go back and get your degree in something culinary arts related. You have a knack for cooking and decorating. We are excited to hear how it all works out for you!
