My Quarter-Life

2008 was such a good year. I really changed a lot and became closer to who I really am. I know that sounds crazy, but its true. Instead of trying to be something I'm not, I have become very comfortable being myself whether someone likes me that way or not. I have gained a lot of confidence in my career, which has helped with other things in my life.

I turned 25 years old, which made me feel like a real grown-up. (Gasp!) I realize now that time really does fly by. It's hard to believe that my grandparents are almost in their 80's, feels like they should still be in their 60's. Most of the girls my age have already had a child, which really lets me know that time is ticking! I am the only girl in the family who has no children now, I guess I am next.

I had the opportunity to take my grandparents to Animal Kingdom this year, they hadn't been to Disney World in 20 years, it was overdue. It was more fun than I could have ever imagined. I am so lucky that I have them and they are able to go do things with us. Although, next years trip is coming up and I think we will have even more fun this time at EPCOT.

This year I decided to go back to school to pursue my degree in Computer Science. This was an idea I had played with many times, but never actually did anything about it. I was being lazy, I admit it. This is a personal goal, as well as something that I want my children to look at and get inspired from to pursue their dreams.

I think 2009 will bring a lot more changes in my life, a child, possibly. No matter what happens, I know I will always have my family and friends to be there with me and help me.

Happy Holidays!
