What I wanna be when I grow up

I finally realize why people stop celebrating birthdays. The realization that you ARE and WILL continue to get old is rough :0). Its funny realizing that where you thought you would be is not where you are. I never thought I'd be married to my high school sweety, or living in MD, or have a super cool job working with lots of people who do not speak my language...but here I am. The only thing I do wish is that I was a bit cooler though. I'd love to be good at all kinds of different things and be clever and snappy and wickedly sarcastic but alas I am not. It is probably for the best since being good at very few things makes me all the more grateful to God for keeping my pride in line :0)
When I do really think about it I realize that there are many people who wish for what I have...and that makes me appreciate it even more.
