twenty four no more

Today is the last day I'll be 24. I am finally making peace about it. I have been dreading it for a while but now that it's here it's coming whether I like it or not so I might as well take it in stride.
I was thinking there is almost as much pressure with turning 25 as there is with turning 30. It could be a scary thing. I feel so adult now... it's hard when you think that you up to this point you've spent most of your life being young. I'm still young, but only to the people who still wish they were 25. This should be the prime of my life, right? So then I'll make it be the prime of my life and enjoy my life before it's too late.

I'm enjoying seeing Nina's baby neice Alicia. She is sooo cute. She smiles and laughs and coos. She is so fun to watch. We were supposed to go to Cindy and Josh's church this morning, but her car broke down on the way there. She called her Marilyn, their mother and AAA. Not long after while we were waiting on the side of the road a cop came over to see what was going on. He was really concerned about her and the baby and sat in his car and waited until Marilyn and the tow truck came. Nina stayed with Cindy and I went with Marilyn and the baby back to the church. I sat with the baby during the service while Marilyn sang in the choir. Alicia was so good she was a lot of fun to watch. She was grabbing my fingers and looking all around.

Nina, Cindy and Josh made it back ok but they don't know what is wrong with the car yet. I'm glad that Nina and I could be there with her so that she didn't have to be stranded there by herself with the baby. Everything ran smoothly.

Marilyn made my favorite dinner, elegant chicken. It's soo good she makes it almost everytime I come to visit. It makes me feel special. She also made me a boston creme pie cake. It was good. It's nice to be here to visit with Nina's family.
