So, Abby and I are on our way to Ash Land, and we are in the car driving. Abby decided she wanted the apples that she had previously sliced up. She tried offering some to me, but I wasn’t interested. I was worried that they would be mushy for some reason. When I let Abby know, she replied, “No way, José. I don’t roll that way. I eat an apple every day.”
Amazing.

Hopefully I can squeeze in time with my long lost brother, Gabriel and his family…
I am surrounded by such awesome people. It’s kind of overwhelming, actually. They are all so good; and they add happiness and richness and joy to my life. I am so contented with life right now. It hard to imagine my life without them.
i have completed 25 years of life. i’m pretty glad i made it this far.
i have to say i am pretty excited about 25. it’s not that 24 was bad. it was actually pretty great. the birthday itself was exceptionally not good, but 24 just got better and better as the year went on.
it’s kind of funny, whatever plans i made for myself 5 years ago are nowhere near where i am at now…. and i couldn’t be more glad. i am sooooooo thankful for my life, and i feel so blessed in every area. the majority of my friends (from growing up-ish years) are now married, and most of those ones have little kiddos, and that’s awesome for them. that was totally my “plan” a few years back. thank god (literally… go ahead and thank him) that he had better plans. i am so at peace with things right now. peace is not equal to comfort. i am still being challenged. i am still on the narrow road of life. but i know god’s got it all under control. that’s all i could ever dream or hope for. looking back and remembering is a good reminder that i don’t have to have things figured out, i just need to be seeking his will and responding in obedience.
so yeah.
25 is a whole new market demographic (thanks for that tidbit, jay)
car insurance goes down.
the formative years are done with. <— this is either encouraging or discouraging. for me, i am quite glad. i am pretty okay with who i am at this point in my life. i have a strong relationship with god, i have surrounded myself with solid friends, and i am actually getting along with my family. i am secure in my identity. yes, i still have a slough of personality flaws, but god is working on me, and i’m okay with that. yay.
i’m not a young adult anymore. i’m just straight on an adult. i like that.
i’m at peace ‘cause i feel like i am standing on solid ground. i’m only standing ‘cause god is holding me up. he’s the one that gets the credit for where i am at.
cheers to more nonsensical ramblings in the hour right before my birthday…
(actually, i am pretty sure i was born in the evening, so officially 25 years is still 18 hours out… but whatever.
