Twenty in Twenty

So the rumors are true...

I AM old.

Or at least older.. lol

I have been thinking a lot about my birthday lately and have decided that its not as bad as I make it out to be. Turning 20 is just the same as turning 19, 18, and 17 was. There isn't much difference in these numbers other than the number itself. In fact the major thing I was worried about was having to grow up since I wouldn't be a "teen" anymore but honestly that is not the case. I am just as grown as I need to be, in fact I could even chill out about some things. Then I contemplated the whole "I'm 20 and I have almost nothing to show for my life..." But that was also a lie. 

I never thought I would be in college. Starting a change in my life that would be for the better. 

I never thought I would be so in love with the Gospel. Accepting callings and shortening the spaces between my temple visits. 

I never thought I would have such amazing and inspirational people in my life to keep track of me and be my own personal help during trying times. 

I never thought that at the "ripe age" of twenty I would be thinking about a future family of my own or working towards becoming a better mother and wife. 

I just never expected any of this to come out of my life. And looking at the place i came from i would say i'm doing pretty well for myself. 

So I guess turning twenty wont be as bad as I imagined it to be. 

After all, being eight years younger than the internet is a lot younger than being around before it existed. 

1991, The year of my birth. 2 decades away and still contributing to the greater good of the world. :)
