AS put on one beautiful dinner party for me this weekend. I spent Friday shopping at the local mall with BrS (the boyfriend's lil sis) and that evening, their close family friends (the W's and JP) joined us for dinner. We had a delicious wedge salad, phenomenal twice baked potatoes, tasty green beans, the most delicious pork tenderloins followed by chocolate and funfetti cupcakes! We spent the night laughing and telling stories, I opened presents and loved spending the first of my birthday celebrations with a family I've come to love dearly.
This weekend, JK and hubby come down to celebrate with me. BS is coming up as well and the four of us and SR will be enjoying our weekend together. Plans have yet to be determined but the words "dinner", "movie" and "club" have been thrown around alot. I'm so thrilled that my big sis, my bestest friend and my boyfriend are all going to be with me the weekend before my 23rd birthday...
I'm going through an emotional growth spurt right now, making changes in my lifestyle. I hope to improve my quality of character and create greater bonds with those around me. I want to live healthier and happier. No soda, no fast food, no red meat, no alcohol...the list of things I'm giving up continues to grow as I live and learn and make changes. I love my life, my family and friends mean the world to me and there is nothing in this world that is worth losing everything.
Today I am reflective. I'm drowsy from an eventful weekend and I'm looking forward to lying in bed all evening, with nothing to do but catch up on my photo editing. When I'm tired and thinking...my brain wanders aimlessly for miles, and my train of thought moves like a bullet from one thing to another. I am so thankful for the amazing people in my life. Another year down the drain, I'm ready to embrace life and start making something of it. I know who my true friends are, I've gained the love of a family that I adore, and while there are many things that could bring me down, I am choosing to make better decisions for me.
I hope everyone has a happy Monday and a great week ahead of them.
