Birthday and Other Shenanigans

Phew, 2018 has been a busy one so far! So busy in fact that I missed my post for last week! I’m sorry. Of course, I’m awesome so all is forgiven, I hope.

To kick it off I’ma give myself a shout out for turning 28 last week!

*ahem*

 Happy Birthday to me!
 Happy Birthday to me!
 Happy Birthday dear Gloria!
 Happy Birthday to me!

It’s crazy to think about how old I’ve become! (Don’t roll your eyes at me...I see you). To some 28 is nothing and there are plenty excited about 30, which is fine. I’m ok with aging and  I’m not scared of it trust me but goodness adulting is hard as crap. Lol. I miss being a kid, I took it for granted. I definitely took my naps and downtime for granted. I find myself wanting to sleep for many, many hours at a time now.  On the plus side though,  this week and a half since turning said age has been amazing! I got to go to dinner, hang with my family,  go out with my friends, I ate cake (best friggin cake ever!). I couldn’t have brought in 28 any other way. To top it, one of my cousins, who is like my sister, came to visit for a week and more family came over the weekend!

Ashley visiting was perfect and just what I needed. We haven’t been able to catch up as much what with her life being busy and mine being busy as well, there is just not much time. However, we caught up, we laughed, we went out, and we ate to our hearts content. Most importantly, she got to spend time with my son Francisco! He loves her and warmed up to her real quick, I was pretty impressed! I was really sad to have to drop her off at the airport, but every time we part is sad because we just have such a great time together. I’ve told her plenty of times that she should just move to Atlanta. Maybe one day she will listen to me! Having my other family members come to visit was equally as great. I don’t get to see any of them all that often so I enjoyed getting to see them and spend time with them. We even managed to go up to Helen, it was super cold. Maybe not the brightest ideas to go but who cares right!? We gotta enjoy life and do fun things.

Mixed in with all that fun though comes the start of school. My last semester and I’m done; I’ll graduate. Thank god. My first day back was Tuesday and I can say now, my 8 o’clock class is probably gonna end up killing me. It’s just so early, I don’t know what I was thinking. Oh wait! I do know. I was thinking they weren’t offering the class at a better time and if I didn’t take it I was gonna be screwed. That’s a completely valid reason to torture myself for 4 months. Yup. Anybody else facing this struggle? Come on. Anyways, I’m pretty sure school will be a topic I touch upon again at a later date!  For now, I bid you guys adieu.
