In Utah where most of the LDS girls get married by the age of 23, a few of my past birthdays haven't exactly felt like celebrations since I was single and the pressure to find my "someone" increasingly mounted. Birthdays usually seemed more like "reminders" - to get married sooner than later - than fun. I'm kinda excited about my birthday this year - not because of all the presents or the crown I will indefinitely wear all day, but because of what I already have in my life.
This year is different. Since I knocked out marriage and a baby in one year, I have no more anxiety about the future. Only excitement. Who knew I'd love being a parent or a wife so much? This year, I feel good about who I have become and where my life is headed. No more questions or pressure, just my birthday. It's about time, too!
enjoy every minute of today and you wear that crown 'til you go to bed !! ;] happy birthday !
