today i turn 21...





and to be honest i don't feel any different than i did on this day last year or the year before that. i wonder what age you actually start to notice you are getting older?  for me my birthday is like a mini new years..where i get to set some goals for myself again and see where i'm at with them on my birthday the next year. it's a fun little thing just between me, myself, and i. but today since i am older........no wiser, i will let you in on some of my goals.


  • i want to be more active in practicing the word of God. now that i am older i am starting to realize the importance of this. i am now at a point in my life that i feel closer to God than i ever have and i want to keep learning and keep growing in his word. 
  • i want to be a better wife, daughter, sister, friend. i want to be the best me i possibly can be. (i think that goes hand in hand with the first one)
  • i want to stop and enjoy this time in my life. a time before kids, a time before justin and i have real jobs. i catch myself complaining sometimes because of the odd hours justin works ( as soon as i complain about this one i want to take it back because at least he has a job that pays our bills, and puts food on our table..pretty lucky actually), or because we are both in school and that consumes our time. but to be honest things aren't so bad..in fact they aren't bad at all, and i want to enjoy it. i want to enjoy the fact that i am young, that we are healthy, and pretty much care free. 
  • i want to travel more..this one may be a hard one because we are poor college students..extra money goes to fixing up the house. or lets be honest expanding my shoe collection. but i would like to start saving. 
  • i want to get better in photography 
  • and i want to try new things that are out of my comfort zone. 


here's to getting older and rocking the heck out of it.
