The best 25 years of my life...

Well folks, I turned the big 2-5 this past weekend! I have always said, I hope I live to 100 years and that is still true today. Sometimes people get caught up worrying about their age, or afraid to look their age, or that age somehow changes who they are or who they can be. Although most of you would say, ha, easy for her to say she is still young; I have always believed in celebrating age. Think of all the things you have seen, learned, acquired, and felt during those years of your life?!?! Would you really give them all away to be younger; would you give them all away to change something? Well, my answer is no. I truly think growing old is a blessing, and when I reach 100 years old I will sit in my rocking chair, on my porch in the mountains, on that beautiful fall day and say, "Thank you God for allowing me this many years and allowing me to see the world you have created for us."

I celebrated my first quarter of century of life in Clemson, of course! I couldn't think of a better place! We played Boston College this weekend and were granted a win for my birthday! A little celebration at the Esso and let's just say the rest is history.... yes, history... that is the best thing to call it! :)

I got to see a few friends I haven't seen in a while! I love reunions! I spent Friday night with Tamra Brock, one of my great friends from nursing school. We had dinner and spent the evening checking out the homecoming floats on Bowman field. Only got to see Elizabeth and Ryan briefly, which makes me sad, but hopefully a longer reunion soon! We also spent time with some good ole Chapin folks, Daivd and Jake! They were at my after party/birthday party where the "history" was being made. All right, all right... it included me purposely falling asleep on the couch before my birthday cake was even cut. But it was a great!

Bentley came along with us on the trip too. He was much more behaved in the car this time. He must be getting used to the long rides! :)
