Turning 22

September 19, 2012 26 Comments

Hey guys! Happy Wednesday! I hope as you’re reading this your day is off to a wonderful start. Mine is going pretty well, I turn 22 today! 😀

It’s crazy to think how fast time flies. I remember my sixth birthday like it was yesterday and already it’s my twenty-second?! I feel so grateful, I know I could not ask to be happier, healthier, or in a better place than I am right now as I enter into a new year.

Twenty-one was a really good year for me.

  • I got engaged to Josh
  • I started my senior year of college
  • I had an amazing summer internship
  • I went to Disney World

As good as twenty-one was, I know twenty-two is going to be even better!

  • I’m going to Vegas on a school trip
  • I’m graduating from college
  • I’m getting married to Josh
  • We’re moving and will be living together
  • I’ll be starting either a full-time job or grad school

I love this upward trend of life just getting better and better. In tradition of that I made some goals that I hope to accomplish in my twenty-second year of life.

  • Enjoy and soak in every single second of my experiences, I’m only going to get them once
  • Stress less, laugh more
  • Get more sleep
  • Graduate Summa Cum Laude
  • Get my arms into rocking shape for my wedding dress
  • Run in an outdoor race, regardless of the distance or size, simply for the experience
  • Learn to cook more food
  • Take time to read more
  • Be less hard on myself, I truly am my biggest critic
  • Be the best daughter, friend, fiance, and future wife I can possibly be
  • Be open to new opportunities and be flexible with my life plans

In celebration of today, after I get off work Josh and I are going out to dinner at one of our favorite Italian restaurants. I’m so happy to be spending my birthday with Josh. Last year he helped me celebrate my twenty-first birthday and it was so special.

Question of the Day: What has been your favorite age so far?

    Happy birthday!! I hope you have a wonderful day 🙂

    I’m not sure what my favorite year has been so far…being 30 has been pretty decent, and it’s not as scary as everyone thinks 🙂

    0-1… i slept a lot, did what I wanted, was on a liquid diet and never had to do my own laundry. Sounds epic, right?
