twenty-six

Tomorrow I will be 26. Kind of crazy. I will soon be 30. I don't feel old though. In fact, I feel really young (except for when I try to exercise...then I feel old). Thinking back to when I was younger (even only 6 years ago), I thought my life would be very different at 26.

I thought I would have kids,
be done with school,
have bigger boobs, (you know, 26 year old boobs)
clearer skin,
not be renting,
not be a landlord (at the same time I'm renting),
not be living in Wyoming,
blah, blah, blah.

But my life is great. I may not be to a point in my life that I thought I would be at this age, but my life is better than I ever imagined it could be. I do have...

a wonderful husband,
wonderful friends,
a wonderful family,
a lot of great life experiences,
the gospel,
and a desire to be happy.

And I'll soon be done with school, and it one way or another, we'll have kids, and maybe even soon we won't be renting anymore. As far as the bigger boobs and clearer skin, I will just keep hoping and maybe one day those will happen too. :)

Life is good. I'm excited to be 26. And most of all, I'm honored to share my birthday with my grandpa, the best grandpa in the world!!

  7. Happy Birthday! I hope that it's a good one. Life does turn out to be much different than we expect. You made it sound like having bigger boobs was hopeless... a few hundred dollars and a small surgury would fix that for you! :)

  8. Stephanie - If only it was few hundred dollars. Too bad it's more like a few thousand dollars. And speaking of which, would you like to donate to my fund??

  11. I hope you had a wonderful day! AND 30 will be here before you know it, I agree with your list but it is about my life too, oh how I thought things would be different; mainly I would have liked to have a few kids by now, one at least but that just hasn't happened yet! ONE day!

  14. happy belated birthday Jen! I hope you had a wonderful day! Your post was sure fun to read...as always! I still have 5 more months until I will "almost be 30" (you know, the big 2-6 haha). It's amazing how different things can be in life than you expected, huh? I didn't think I'd be where I am today.
