I would like to say the reason I haven't posted was to wait until after my twenty fifth birthday and revise my list. However I am sad to admit that is not the case. Between my hectic life in the past nine months I have neglected my blog as I tend to do and because of that I just have to write twice as much as I normally would. (don't get too upset il try to make it a short version)
To start things off, my revised list for "POST 25"
I moved into my own apartment
got a fish... that lived 4 months
went on a cruise to Cozumel (got sea sick)
along with moving out I am building my credit, quite nicely I might add
I got a new car this past summer that I love** AC went out on the Saturn :(
I am attempting to save money between all my bills
and I am currently enrolled in school and scheduled to take the nursing entrance exam
Committed to something for 12 months- my job !
****************************************************************************
That being my list, I have proudly accomplished some of the things I set my goals to and the others will just have to wait. However the most exciting news that came in my twenty fifth year was the day my sister announced I would be an AUNT!!
I am beyond excited for her and our family, this will be the first baby and HE will be so spoiled. I already love him so much. He should make his grand arrival in the next two weeks, its just a waiting game at this point.. and im not a very patient person.
A lot has happened since the beginning of this year and I have had to grow up a lot. I miss my old life at times, the traveling and staying busy with friends and activities. My days now mostly consist of work, school, baby showers, and watching all my friends get married and move away.
But that's ok, because i'm still figuring things out and have a feeling I have a lot more adventure left in me. I am officially in my mid twenties and at times I see that as still young, and then there are times I feel old and like life is catching up to me. All I know is that my heart still longs for adventure and to find the things that make me happy. Each year will bring something new, im definitely not the same as I was this time last year and im sure things will have changed drastically in the coming year. I like thinking of things in that perspective, you are always changing, nothing ever stays the same. So if you don't like something one way, just wait a while and something new will come along.
At a dinner with my grandparents this past weekend I had a conversation with my papa. Mostly about his life and the journeys that he was lead through. During this conversation he stopped and looked at me and said " I believe in destiny, that every path you take, every wrong or right decision you make will lead you to your place of being" - He had worked his younger years in a broom factory sitting for eight hours a day sticking a broom stick in a machine that attached the bristles to the end. He told me that time in his life was not very fun, he knew it wasn't what he wanted to do forever and that he would eventually move on. But that was where he was at that moment. That moment in his life took him on to bigger and better opportunities, and the stories he had were astonishing.
It made me hope.. This is where I am in life for now, im learning, im growing, im making mistakes and at the same time memories that maybe one day I can tell my grandchildren.
I know im only twenty five and counting, but one day il look up and this will be my past - Just like the list from my prior post.
Things ive done, things I could have done, and things I still have waiting
