21 years

Today is October 9th, which means I've been on the planet Earth for 21 years today (not counting the 9 months in the womb, lol). I was going to list the things I am able to do legally since turning 18 and now 21 but some of them I probably shouldn't mention here, in case someone misses the joke. :-)

Seriously, though, God has been good, and I have been blessed with so many friends and amazing people in my life (and a big THANK YOU to all you wonderful people who wished me well or sent me birthday ecards or messages on facebook!). I've heard that each stage of life holds its own blessings and I'm particularly grateful for the opportunities God has brought into this time of my life. I'm glad I took this chance to come to the D.R. while I can; it's one of those life experices that can completely change who you are, and I'm excited to see what God will do in me in the months ahead.

Today Slabachs brought me birthday flowers!
