One Year Older and Wiser Too!

Ever since I turned about 12 or 13 I have lived with a birthday curse. Each year, without fail, I have been sick on my birthday! While my mom and Jordan have taken advantage of this and laughed at things I may or may not have said in my illness induced delirium in the past, this year they were left with no new material. That's right, for the first time in about ten years I DID NOT get sick on my birthday!!!!! I had a few friends text me and facebook messeages with birthday well-wishes because of course we don't actually call people anymore lol, and my day went off without a hitch. In fact, I even convinced Devin to come to Salt Lake and go to a Stake FHE activity with me that night.

Jordan and David deserve a special thanks for making 22 a great birthday. Jo and the kids took me to the zoo which I never get tired of and then out to lunch. After nap time and upon Devin's arrival we went to dinner at a bakery where I also got to pick out a birthday dessert especially for ME! Then Dev and I hit up FHE and played some volleyball...mind you it wasn't always good volleyball. More like family reunion volleyball where the older generation uses 2 hands to slap the ball in a move that is clearly illegal but play continues anyways. Ya, there was a lot of that, but I haven't played in about 4 months and it felt good to get back on the court so I stuck it out.

I have to say that 22 doesn't feel much different than 21 and I'm ok with that cause 21 was great! This probably isn't where I thought I would be at 22 but I love the friends I'm making and the time I get to share with Jo and David and clan. My friend Alex teased me that I'm getting old and haggard and I just thought, "you dirty son of a gun, you have no room to talk since you're 25!" So, to sum up: physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and any other ally that there is, I feel great with one more year under my belt!
