I Don't Know About You, But I'm Feeling 22.

So I turned 22 on friday. And it weirds me out greatly. It's the first birthday I've had in a long while where it wasn't an exciting birthday itself but I'm not waiting for an exciting birthday. Like when you turn 15, it's not overly exciting itself, but "in just one more year I turn 16 and I can get my license." Now it's 22 isn't super exciting and "Oh gosh, I'm like a legitimate adult now."

It was a good birthday. Had a lot of well wishes. Got to hang out with my grandma who I don't get to see nearly enough because she lives in Reno now. Had a lovely dinner with my family and went out with some friends that night.

Later in the weekend I went and saw Man of Steel with my grandma and siblings. It was a really good movie. We went and saw my aunt and my uncle and my cousins. It's always fun seeing them. I also go to play with a baby. He's 8 or 9 months old. I love babies. I'm that girl that if there's a baby anywhere in the vicinity all of my attention is instantly honed on the little bundle of adorable. So if anyone ever needs a babysitter and I'm in the area and free, please hit me up. I love kids.

On the same note, I had a graduation barbecue/party thing last week as well where I got to hold my cousin's 19 day old son.

The party was a lot of fun. I had a lot of family stop by. As crazy as everything gets, I do really love my family.

My mom and grandma and the siblings all went back down to Reno yesterday. It's always a bittersweet event when we have to go our separate ways. I love my family, but like all good little siblings, mine drive me crazy after a certain point in time. Even if they are cute. Cute can only carry you so far.

Now It's just last minute errands and kind of running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, as the saying goes. I have to be in glacier at 9am on Saturday so time is getting shorter and I still have a lot of friends that I haven't seen yet, and a lot of stuff that needs to get done.

Speaking of which I think that's where I will wrap this post up.

TTFN, ta ta for now!

PS The title is a song from Taylor Swift, who even though I strongly dislike, my friends (you know who you are) really enjoy torturing me with. And she just so happens to have a song about turning/being 22. So that's been fun.
