Last day as a "teenager"


This was graduation day with my best friends! I thought this looked like a good teenager pic of us ;) LOVE you girls!!


Howdy ya'll!

So.. today I woke up and realized it was my last day as a teenager. I feel that I should be a bit sad? But instead, I'm happy about it! I also thought, do I go do something crazy? Go skydiving? Do something illegal? Knock a few windows out with a bat? That all just seems silly to me. Who cares to do that? Haha. It doesn't really prove anything. I've already done crazy things back when with my friends and that was fun! Yes, I miss those times but now they make great memories. :)

If I could, if I still lived in Utah, I would go do my favorite things I did as a child.
Play night games, ride down the street on my scooter sitting on a bucket, play hands-up stands-up, play mother may I, jump on the trampoline with the sprinklers under it, make up dances with my friends and pretend we're super stars, make forts, play dress up...

All day I've been reflecting on my childhood. All the friends I've had. All the life changing choices I've made, good and bad. All the things accomplished since. It's hard to get my mind wrapped around where the time went? Where did it go? Seriously?

20 years have gone by. Years. Thats 2 decades. What the freakin' heck.
But, 20 is just a number. It does not define me or my personality. I will still be the same person today that I will be tomorrow. So, this transition is no big deal. Maybe only to my mom...

I always get I either look 18, or 23. The only reason I get 23 is from the other military wives that see me married and with a 5 year old. But I don't care what age I look, as long as I'm happy being who I am and being with who I love!

Now, as I raise Chloee.. I can make sure she has a super fun childhood just like I did. When she gets a little older, I can do all my favorite childhood memories with her, and they might become her favorite things :)

I already feel older anyways, where I'm at in life but hey... Wuhooo to being a teenager!! I had great fun! And now, I am ready to take on the 20's! New years, new memories!

Thanks for reading!!
