The 24th Year of Being Born

So yesterday was my 24th birthday. It was a relaxed day even though I had to work. I got some wonderful gifts from my coworkers - bath salts, lotion, shower gel, etc. One coworker of mine knows we're doing more Crockpot meals so she got me a really cool Crockpot recipe box filled with TONS of recipes. Im so excited to try them out. I've been craving sweets like crazy so I got a bunch of candy including a whole box of double stuffed Oreos from a girlfriend of mine! Matt stopped by in the afternoon with flowers, chocolates and a wonderful smelling box of candles.

Its crazy to think that I was only 18 when Matt and I first started dating. I still remember the year he turned 21 and I pretty much forced him to have a beer because he could now legally drink. Of course I still laugh when someone asks to see his drivers license when buying alcohol because his picture is the same one from when he was 16. To think that he was 16 TEN years ago (Now I dont feel so old ;).

Im not sure what 24 is suppose to feel like. I remember talking to my mom yesterday and she mentioned that she was 23 when she had my older sister. So Im a year behind age-wise, but Im ready to be a mom at the "ripe" age of 24.

Just think - at my 25th birthday I will have a 8 month old. Crazy.
