26 thoughts on my 26th birthday

Well, well, well... June 19th we meet again!  How in the world has another year gone by?  This is my 4th birthday post here on Sugar Spice and Sparkle, click here to read the last three!

If this is your first year here - welcome!  Each year on (or right around) my birthday, I write a post with essentially random thoughts so that I can look back and see where my head was at at each age.  It's really fun to do and something I would highly recommend even if you don't blog - get out a journal and write yearly.  My husband and I also write to each other each year on our anniversary.  I'm a very sentimental person and if you follow me on Instagram you know how much I reminisce!

Wow - another birthday.  They seem to come and go at a far too rapid pace lately.  Birthdays are definitely not what they used to be - I'm not exactly excited each time they come around, I love being young!  I just don't want it to end.  But at the same time I'm so grateful to be turning 25 - as my Dad would say, it's better than the alternative!

This post isn't for the page views or the followers, the likes or the shares, this one is for my memories and for something to look back on someday to remember this time in my life!

23

Totally wrote this yesterday but didn't get a chance to post - let's just pretend it's my birthday again :)

Wow it's my birthday again!  I swear I just turned 22 and now I'm officially 23.  That sounds so old.  I can't believe that I;m a full blown adult - who let that happen?

I want to write this blog post so that in a year I can read it again and see how far I've come (well here's to hoping I have progressed in a year)

Right now I am engaged, a college graduate, and a full time employed person.  I have a lot to be thankful for!  Some days it kind of feels like I am playing house and just pretending to be an adult and in a few months I'll go back to being a kid again...

To celebrate Brian is taking me to dinner at Yachtsman Steakhouse and we are going to spend some time at Epcot!  I am really looking forward to it after a long day at work.  My team did bring me a birthday cake and some chocolate chip cookies (my favorite) during our lunch at Pei Wei.  It was so nice of them to celebrate me and my birthday even though I am brand new to the team!

My birthday wish (I know I am not supposed to tell you, but I'm a rebel!) is to start blogging regularly again.  Graduating and starting my job have caused me to be just a little busy lately and my blog has suffered a bit.  I promise I will start blogging a lot again ASAP!  I know life will never stop being busy so I just need to make blogging a part of my routine.  

Blogging this past year has been a joy and a blessing!  The relationships I have made and opportunities I have had thanks to this blog have been amazing.

One thing I know for sure will be true on my next birthday is how thankful I am for everyone who reads my blog - without you it would be pointless!  The friendships I've made through this blog (and Instagram!) are so unique and special.  Make sure you leave comments when you have thoughts because I read them and love them!  Let's see how many new friends I can make by next year :)

Taylor Swift was spot on (as usual) - 22 was miserable and magical.  I was definitely happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time.  I wish she would write a song about 23 so I'd know what to expect!

Stay tuned for a post on my birthday outfit(s) and Disney trip recap!

Don't forget to Sparkle!
