My Birthday Feels Different This Year
How I Am Feeling With Being (Almost) One Year Older
On June 8th, I will turn 24. With each passing birthday, I always wonder what lies ahead for me. I wonder what blessings and losses there will be. I wonder what lessons I will learn and how much I will grow.
This used to overwhelm me as a child, and I would cry on my birthday. As I grew up, I began to look forward to what all lay ahead for me.
However, absolutely no mental preparation could have prepared me for what my 23rd year would be like. It makes me question what my 24th year will bring.
On mine and my husband’s FIRST date, we discussed kids.
We both wanted to wait a few years, and we both wanted four children. There was no need to compromise. We had the exact same hopes, dreams, and plans for our future family. My husband and I were very honest and upfront with each other right from the very start.
I had told him then, “I want to be a young mom. I want a baby around 23 or 24 years old.” He agreed.
