25 Years Young

Yes, I turned the big 25 yesterday. My siblings made sure to remind me that I am now halfway to 50 and a quarter of a century. Thanks guys. My wonderful husband took me out to eat and to a movie to celebrate. When Jonathan told our waiter that it was my 25th birthday, he chuckled to himself and said, "You look 18". Now, he may have been trying to get a bigger tip, but it's not the first time I've been told I look much younger than my years. It used to bother me, because I didn't like being a working adult who was told she looked like a high schooler. But now, as I am getting older, I'm starting to realize that this looking a lot younger thing is actually a good thing! Now when I'm 40, I'll still look like I'm in my 20s. I love it!! :) Anyway, back to our evening out. We went to see Nacho Libre at the theater and, man, was it funny. I was in the mood to laugh at something stupid, which is exactly what happened. Jack Black makes that movie, and I spent half the time just cracking up at his outfit and accent. So, we would both recommend it; and the best part is, it's clean! All in all, I had an enjoyable 25th birthday. Jonathan made me a butter cake with my favorite frosting of all time--rainbow chip. Mmmm! As a side note, we do have a guy coming to look at the house tonight, so we'll see how it goes. Until next time...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! I completely forgot...I am sorry :(

I know what you mean about getting tired of the "you look so young" comments - normally from people that are older. One time I did have a teenager ask me what high school I went to, and I just had to laugh. It's hard working at the college because lots of people think I am a student. Now that I have been here 3 years it has gotten better, though. I thought having a baby would help, but it really hasn't...You are right about enjoying it as we get older! :)

Happy 25th Birthday! It sounds like Jon did a wonderful job of celebrating with you. How does it feel to be a quarter of a century?
