I feel like I have to write that sentence and say it over and over to make sense of it.
25!!??!!
That is a quarter of a century! I have always been the baby.. Baby of the family, baby at work, baby of all my friends. Now I am well and truly rooted in my 20's.
This brings strange mixed feelings for me.
- A little bit of panic about what I haven't achieved that I really thought I would have by now.
- A smidgen of pride of where I have been and my world-view
- Complete happiness and understanding of how lucky I am to be surrounded by people who love me and understand me.
- Anticipation and excitement for the next year - I have high hopes for what is to come!
I absolutely love surprises. Even if something is boring and horrible, as long as it's a surprise, I like it! I can't imagine telling somebody what I want for Birthday/ Christmas - it just takes away all the joy and excitement.
Conrad has become the Master-Surprise-Maker.
I came home last night to find this on the door of the laundry room:
Who would have thought it?

How sweet of Conrad to embrace your need for surprises! I also need at least one thing that I didn't wrap myself and have no idea about under the tree - whatever it is.
Go Conrad!!!
Happy Birthday!!!
Happy 25th Rachel. Enjoy the mid twenties as they come. As for me before I could blink I was 28!!!!!
hehehehehehe
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Rachel!
So how was the birthday??? You know I expect you to write on here every day!!! =)
I guess I forgive you, since you're exhausted. =)
I finally have figured out how to comment, thanks to Allison's help. I hope you had a great birthday - let us know all about it!
Okay, so not I didn't have to do anything special! Go figure!
Oh, brother, that was supposed to be NOW, not NOT. It's too late to be typing!
so...what was the surprise??? Did I miss it somewhere?
Happy 25 and beyond Rachel!
I always feel so immediately connected to fellow TCK's. I am also feeling strange about being in my mid-20's, and I wonder how I'll deal with it next year when I turn 25.
