Well...i'm not crying i just realized yesterday that once you hit 22 there are no other birthdays to look forward to. it's all down hill from here..haha..let me explain.
if you belong to the church you'll understand most of these..
8 years old-you look forward to your baptism
12 years old-you're finally out of primary and moving onto young women/young men
14 years old-you're finally old enough to go to stake dances
16 years old-you get your drivers license and you are finally allowed to date(even if you did it a little before that ;) it's offially legal now..haha)
18 years old-you're officially an adult..and you get to smoke legally if you're interesting in that sort of thing..haha
20 years old-you're finally NOT a teenager anymore
21 years old-actually feel like an adult and you get to gamble and drink..once again..if you're into that sort of thing...
where do you go from there? you get to rent cars when you're 25..something to look forward to if you need to rent a car. and then 60-something when you're a "senior citizen" and get discounts at restaurants/movies/stores...haha..but really people..i think more things to look forward to need to happen through of the years, rather than just getting old...wouldn't you agree?
I woke up to a bouquet of gorgeous flowers on the kitchen table, even though ryan HATES buying them...quote-what's the point in spending 50 bucks on things that are just going to die in a week anyway-end quote. It's true, but i LOVE flowers! and appreciate them nonetheless. so against his principles..because he loves me, he gets them for me:) BUT he refuses to on vday..but that's a post for another day..
And just when i thought i was going to be alone all day, ryan skipped school to be with me. :) The only other thing i wanted to do yesterday was see "he's just not that into you" which i enjoyed very much so. after our large popcorn and DP we weren't hungry for dinner so we just went home in time for...GREY'S and PRIVATE PRACTICE. i couldn't have asked for a better birthday...

Happy Birthday!!! I feel so dumb, I didn't even know it was your birthday...I'm so sorry, I am bad friend. Happy birthday nontheless.
haha..it's fine britty..i'm really not offended...just think how great your timing was with lunch though..haha
the things you get to look forward to when you get older, besides senior discounts, is being able to be gutsy which you always wanted to be anyway but wouldnt because you are afraid what others might think, so with each birthday you become braver and braver till you are way too bold but by then people will just say oh, shes like that because shes so old. i love being old!!!!!!
HAHAHA! Mindy! I love you! And I'm glad that you ended up having an absolutely WONDERFUL birthday!
Finnish Mama is right though. I feel braver and braver every day! Great insight I must say.
you can look forward to turning 32 when you will be the most beautiful, wise, and briliant you've ever been. haha...that's just something 32 year olds tell themselves to make them feel better about being 32.don't worry you got 10 more years to be where I AM!!!
love you mindo!!!!
That is true. I have no idea!
