This is an overlooked age, sandwiched between the great 18 and the wildly fun 21 (I didn't mean for those to rhyme, I swear!). But personally, this was a really important birthday for me, and I think it deserves more credit worldwide. So important I actually wanted to have a party for once, but sadly, most of our money was sunk into our new car.
The past year has been a whirlwind and an amazing challenge. So many things happened that I can't do it all justice in one measly blog post, so your might see this subject pop up again. It started just before my 19th birthday when I went on a great Western adventure with my sisters, camping across 6 states. Less than a month after my return I wound up knocked up by a guy I'd been dating for two months (every time I think of this I shudder). I started my first real job and began college. All in all... it was a very busy year.
Arches Nat. Park, Utah. Camping and Hiking with my favorite sisters. A great adventure before I had to settle down.
Now I'm twenty years old.
I'll never be a teenager again. I'm not a teen mom. I'm a young woman who is still facing a lot of challenges but last year was so wonderful I'm not afraid of what might come. I know I've got an angel of a baby and we'll all be alright. My new motto is, "As long as Julian isn't crying, everything is fine." Well, right now he's sound asleep.
As always, thanks for reading.
G'night,
Lily
