Anyway, this year has already been great. I did a speech at the Walk, and through that I've met a lot of new people, including people who are becoming pretty good friends. Dad almost got terribly hurt but ended up okay, and I count that as a joy because it was such a relief. Jack and I got married, that's a big one. And the year is only half done.
Really all of my twenties have been pretty great. Though it was a long process, I ultimately earned my bachelor's from my dream school, a fact I've been very proud of ever since. I've worked lots of different kinds of jobs, and I've learned a lot. I also had what was, IMO, a good first serious relationship, followed not long after by a great last serious relationship, since, you know, I'm married now. I've maintained several friendships that began before I was twenty, and made good friends with many more people. MANY more, if I think about it. My friendships with my siblings have grown and deepened as we've all become adults.
I think that really is what I'm most grateful for--all the good relationships I have. And I have so many. My life is full of cool people I really care about who really care about me. And that's easier to remember today of all days (thanks, largely, to Facebook telling people it's my birthday, haha). Here's a sampling:
So many happy messages. :) And that's just a sampling, as of now I've had over 60 people write me over FB for my birthday.
I still don't really know what I'm doing with my life, but I've come to accept that many people never actually figure that out. Somewhere along the way I've switched from trying to figure out what the plan is to enjoying how my life is going already (while still working hard, of course).
Hopefully by this time next year I'll be done with my master's and I'll have a kid, or a kid on the way. Those would both be great accomplishments! But either way, my life is good. :)
