Twenty Three

What I've learned in my twenty-third year as it draws to an end:

my parents still know best
Vegas is good fun
colorful to-do lists at work are the only way to go
a picture is worth WAY more than a thousand words
true friends tend to be there for you in the most unexpected ways
marriage is amazing
marriage is hard
going to weddings as a guest is so fun
reading the Bible daily is challenging and worth it
laughing should be a part of every day
Pizza places don't inherently know your address
Being assertive is a great way to grow (in career and otherwise)
blogging is addictive
traveling is always a priority
skiing faster does not necessarily equate to falling harder
driving faster may result in a ticket
Red wine is, in fact, delicous
three people know me best
God is good
Froggie's cuddling is therapeutic
sailing is relaxing and exhilerating
writing hand-written notes is important
weddings are quick
family dynamics are forever changing
honeymoons should happen every year
car accidents in New York are no bueno
love is a decision, an emotion, and a story--all in one, and all independent of each other
