This year, like all the other years, people thought of me, made me feel special, but there is just something about getting older and having to celebrate it that is just not as fun as it should be.
None the less, I started my day off by doing all the normal things, then going to mesquite to lunch with my mom. Her and Stevo gave me some really nice hair stuff and a awesomely wonderful LuLu Lemon Scuba jacket, really I did a little dance when I opened it up, now it just needs to get a little cooler to wear it!
Kyle was nice and got us a night away at the New York New York, Somehow we got a room upgrade! We were on the 36th floor and had a huge hot tub in the room! We walked around the strip and bought me some new Toms, a bra, and a new shirt for Kyle!
We also got a huge chocolate cake and Nancy wrote me a very nice card, gave me the quilting ruler thing I asked for and a little cash for something nice!
My day was alot of fun, but i think next year, we can just skip over it!!!
I thought i would share 26 things i have learned in my 26 years with you, so here they are....
- You always want to grow up, till you actually grow up and have grown up problems. Then all you want is to be that dorky 12 year old girl with huge teeth, a mouth full of braces, Glasses that are too big and taped together cause you got kicked in the face with a kick ball.
- Life doesnt work out like you plan, sometimes you end up living in the upstairs of your in laws house.
- There are some things people just dont agree on, Politics, Religion, What is better Pepsi or Coke, and Nikon vs. Cannon. You can argue and talk all you want about them but very very seldom is one going to change their views on these things, different views for different fools, yo!
- We are taught as kids to say please, thank you, and I'm sorry, but then as adults we dont say them enough.
- Your parents arent as crazy as you thought they were, that or you understand why they are as crazy as they are!
- Everything looks better after a nap!
- A clean house can also make everything look better.
- Christmas gets earlier and earlier every year, when my girls are as young as I am, Christmas will be out all year long!
- Loosing weight gets harder as you get older. Laffy taffys, cookie dough, and a tommy knocker just dont cut it for lunch anymore!
- Also the older you get, the younger 30 sounds!
- Time really does fly and kids really do grow up to fast.
- Time spent with your grandparent seems more special and I always look forward to their phone calls and visits.
- The older you get the worst your heart burn gets!
- A nice hot bath and a good book are like a mini vacation.
- It really is all about the small things in life!
- Silence is one of the best sounds to hear!
- My sisters are my best friends. Even thought they dont follow everything i think they should!
- Laundry is a never ending job.
- When your kids are playing nice with each other it make you feel like your not doing everything wrong!
- Sometimes you just dont like people, and I think thats just fine cause some people are idiots!
- Also there is probably a reason those 'people' are idiots, so you should try to have patience, sometimes, some people, you have to try harder than others!
- Your biggest critic is yourself.
- You can not ever make everyone happy, and it is exhausting trying, but i still try!
- Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but it doesnt get you anywhere. But I seem to still worry about everything.
- I truly believe my girls are the best part about me!
- Last but not least.... Facebook is stupid!! It makes you dislike people who you like in real life and really hate those you are only acquaintances with!! I would get rid of it, but then I couldnt see what my family has been up to and I wouldnt have anything or anyone to make fun of!!
