I am not a teenager anymore! muahaha

[Trisha]

Today I turned 20 years old. c: Some may say Im too young, and some may say im "hitting my prime" or whatever... I say I'm "just right!" In the past year, I have gotten married, moved out of my parents house, held my first ever "full time job," gained friends from across the US, moved clear across the country, rented my first house, paid my first bills, gotten my OWN car, held my first dinner party, gotten my first dog, touched the Pacific Ocean, swam in Lake Michigan, traveled to Illinois, Florida, and other states, driven across country in 3 days, and so many other things I can't even think of them all. I would just like to say THANK YOU to all of you moms who have helped me through this past year. And for all of you friends that I haven't met yet, welcome to my life! I look forward to the following year and the changes it will bring in me.

Darryl Worley says it best:
"I laid in bed that night and thought about the day
And how my life is like a roller coaster ride
The ups and downs and crazy turns along the way
It'll throw you off if you don't hold on tight
You can't really smile until you've shed some tears
I could die today or I might live on for years
I love this crazy, tragic,
Sometimes almost magic,
Awful, beautful life"
