1. I really like my parents, and they really like me. We're like friends now. I think this is my favorite part of family relationships, being able to be friends with your parents. I'm pretty sure that this is their favorite part too. Middle school through adolescence is pretty rough in my family. Everyone's a lot happier once we pass that.
2. My turtle is pretty entertaining. As shown in the video below, she's pretty funny. She's become a lot more animated now that we have the right voltage of light going on her. She's definitely perked up. I was somewhat conned into getting her, but she's aight!
3. Our puppy is adorbs. End of story.Dan thinks we get more comments on how cute he is than normal puppies. I don't know about that but we certainly get comments no matter how early or late in the day we take him out. We can hardly walk during the more populated times because everyone is trying to stop us and pet him or chat with him.
4. Dan pretty much rocks my mundo. He looks super tan in this pic. I hope our children get his skin tone, long eyelashes, straight teeth, lack of cavities and super fast metabolism. Those would all be nice things for them. I think it'd be nice if they got my hair. It's a nice natural color and pretty darn think while still being silky. My hair is the thing I'm most vain about. Everyone's allowed one thing right?
5. I was 22 when I got married (turned 23 10 days later : ) and I thought I was soooo dang old! But 22 sounds so young now that I'm 24! 24 is soooo dang old! My mom was done having all her kids by the time she was my age for heaven's sake! Sometimes I freak out that I'm really old and I should already have my career years done and have had at least 2 babies, but then other times i think I must be crazy to have graduated with my masters when I'm 22 gotten married and already have a year of my career under my belt, I'm too young! Isn't this the time in my life that I'm supposed to dink around and do jobs that just pay the bills? I drive my husband nuts with my flip floppin on what I'm supposed to be doing with my life by this point. He's really nice to me. Does anyone else worry/think about those things?Those are my random thoughts tonight.

I love your dog. I really, really do. Johnny and I both agree he is one of the cutest dogs we have ever seen. And yes, I have similar thoughts sometimes. Sometimes I feel super young, and sometimes I feel super grown up, which makes me sad. But we are young. I REFUSE to believe otherwise :)
When do we get to meet Fitz? We need to have a playdate.
Seriously you are quite impressive :) I think it's awesome that you were married and had a masters by 22! But for the record it doesnt mean planning life gets any easier, to many what-ifs for sure. I spend way more time trying to plan and think and figure out what I am supposed to be doing than I probably should. I feel your pain most assuredly.
We really like you too! And I remember being that age and feeling like I was 13, but I was a mom and how was I suppose to make all these decisions and raise kids?! Argh! But, guess what? It all worked out and you are my proof :)
