Happy Birthday!: Jax

Today I turn the ripe old age of 24.

For the love of God, I feel old!

Happy Birthday Jax!

That was R&W doing the wishing.  I totally was not talking to myself…

This past year has been full of many things good and bad.

I’ve met some new, lovely people and I’ve lost some others.

I’ve had exciting, fun adventures and I’ve had some crisis.

I laughed a lot but I also cried a little.

Since we don’t dwell on the negative here, that’s the end of the comparisons!!

The Top 10 Best Moments of 23 for Jax!

…because I’ll never be 23 again…

10.  Apartment

I moved out of my old apartment that I shared with The Viking to live on my own.

It was the start to a new type of independence and it ignited the fire to burn a big bridge!!

Hello snazzy new place and GOOD RIDDENS to LLS!  Remember him?

9.  GodSon

I developed an even deeper relationship with the baby boy, my GodSon.

I’ve watched him grow mentally and physically.  The memory of his 2^nd birthday will always stay with me!

Nothing can make me smile quicker than when he calls out for me by saying “Jacket!!!”

8.  TheLoveBug

TheLoveBug got smacked around quite a bit this year, but she also got a makeover!

TheLoveBug got eyelashes and a full body lift this year.  She’s prettier than ever!

Well, until those bastards stole half of one of her lashes and I had to wish diarrhea upon them.

7.  Kathy Bates

I’ve seen her nude while flashing the good goods in a video with Jack Nicholson.

I never laughed so hard then when I HAD to Google it late at night with Madre and Biff!!

It may be silly, but it has been talked about at every family function since!

6.  The Avengers

The best movie from my 23 years of life came out recently.

The Avengers rocked the theaters and got me screaming!!

Screaming with joy and excitement at the super heroes and the hunky men.  Yum!!

5.  Superbowl

My NE Patriots may have lost the Superbowl to the NY Giants this year, but it was fun to watch!

It’s not every season that you get to cheer your team on to the very end.

Hello Aaron Hernandez!  You’ll get them this year.  I know you boys got it ;)

4.  Red Head

I went red head for a little while this year!

It was fun to change my hair color and treat it with things like whale sperm and placenta.

Don’t judge me…

3.  New Friends

I’ve made several new friends and acquaintances this year.  It’s always good to meet new people!

I’ve met a few crazies like EggMan, but I’ve met a few people whose friendships I will cherish for life.

Yes, that includes you, Pat Hatt!  We had an awesome experience in NYC for a week!

2.  College

I went back to college in pursuit of my bachelor’s degree in Accounting.

Going to a new school introduced me to a couple new friends and taught me many new things!

Isn’t it weird how it actually feels good to get back to school when you are older??

1.  Blogging

I started blogging around my birthday last year.

I’ll remember my age of 23 as the age that I got involved with Raviolis & Waterworks.

It’s given me something to look forward to and opened doors for me.  I also discovered a passion; writing!

The best part of blogging has been meeting and getting to know all of you!

Thank you all for making the year 23 one to remember for me!  Ok, now wipe those tears from your eyes…

What has been the best part of this year for you?

…and thank you all in advance for the birthday wishes…
