The way my brain works is really weird sometimes.
For instance, today is a perfect example. There are some "milestones" in my life that growing up, I never thought I would reach. For some reason, I thought I would die before I ever got my drivers license. Or ever went to my Senior Prom, or graduated high school. Not in an emo, depressed, suicidal kind of way - it's just that those events/days/situations all seemed SO incredibly amazing and SO unattainably far away that I thought, "I'd never get there."
Well, today was one of those "unattainably far away" events that I thought I'd never reach. Today I turn 21. I can't believe it. It's happened so fast.
All my life 21 has seemed SO old.... and now it's here. And not only that, I'm getting married in 19 days.
I've always wanted to get married young... I'm pretty sure I've always wanted to get married at age 21 as a matter of fact... and it's coming true. :)
God sees the silly desires of my heart, and He loves me through them, and I'm so so grateful.
So. 21 is here. Who cares about the drinking to be honest, I mean sure I like a good jack n' coke or mojito... but I'm just glad I'm entering the age/year that I will be marrying the love of my life. That right there is a good reason for me to be excited about turning 21 :)
(That, and because for as long as I can remember.... 21 has been my favorite number. Soccer, vball, basketball.... it's always been my number...)
So, in the words of my beautiful friend Tatum Downs....
21 is gonna be a good year.
