Birfdays...a dweam within a dweam

Birfdays. Birfdays is what bwings us togethew today. Birfdays that bwessed event, that dweam within a dweam. A little Princess Bride knock off anyone? But seriously. Today I, along with some friends, will be celebrating a friends birthday. He's going to be 25. This is so strange to me. I mean my birthday is just next week, and I too shall turn 25 but it just doesn't seem possible that I have been around long enough to turn that age. Now, don't get me wrong...By no means is 25 super old or even moderately old but it is older than 16 or 21. I don't know about you but I still remember vividly focusing on and looking forward to my sweet sixteen and the opportunity to drive for the first time as well as then looking on towards my high school graduation. Two things that have come and gone but again it doesn't seem possible. Something I have found interesting and have noticed lately about growing up: You used to have these life changing goals that you were aiming towards. IE: Going to high school, making good grades, getting into a good college, working hard, graduating, finding a fitting job, making the most of it all. ECT ECT ECT (yes I wrote etc like ect on purpose). But now my goals are mostly: Today I will go grocery shopping, I will have a party for a friend, I will get out of bed earlier (just today though and then tomorrow I will sleep in). My how your life does change in such a short amount of time.
