The Difference in a Year!

Today, I have a lot to be thankful for.

And I mean, a lot.

If ever I have doubted how loved I was, which I haven't (at least in a long time) these past few days have been the best reminders. I was jokingly saying I should have moved out of Texas sooner with all the amazing gifts I was getting.

A year ago, well, I'll just leave it with, Rachel had to drag me out of bed on my birthday to go have fun. We met my sister in Austin and that was that. Had you told me then, that on my 23rd birthday I'd be living in VA and would be able to celebrate in D.C., I would have laughed at you.

However, if you read this blog at all, you already know what I'm about to say:

Life is more than I could ever have imagined it being.

It's more than I could have "planned" it to be.

It's certainly more than I deserve, and I'm so thankful for every minute of it. So thankful.

The phone calls I received, the cards that I got...the cake, the chocolate covered bananas & strawberries... It really just couldn't have been better.

I certainly never imagined my life looking like it does now...but I wouldn't go back and change any of it.

I'm thankful for the memories I've made since I've been here and the memories that will continue to be made.

My life has changed so much this past year...it will be interesting to see where I am on my 24th!

I can't wait. But this was the best yet. Each and every minute of it, absolutely wonderful.
