For some odd reason, I am
beyond thrilled for this year's birthday. Something about being
23 just gets me excited!
Maybe it's because of my weird thing with numbers. When I set an alarm, it has to end on a 3 or 7 (5:23 or 6:37.) When I set the microwave, ends on 3 or 7. When I set the volume, yep... ends on 3 or 7.
Maybe it's because it'll be my first married birthday! Also Christmas. Birthdays on December 24th are often linked to the day after. (Insert funny picture I found.)
(Thankfully, my parents were good at distinguishing the two days and making them equally special!)
Whatever the reason, I'm so excited. Too excited. I might as well be turning 5 and going to kindergarten...don't judge me.
Sadly, I have 5ish months until the big day. But, I'm starting my celebration now with small accomplishments to lead up to the big day.
