another year older.

Other Charms
….it’s my 26th birthday! 
I’m a little confused how that happened since I’m pretty sure I was 8 years old a few years ago, but somehow I’m in my early/late 20’s. I could write a post about the 26 things I’ve learned in my 26 years, but I’m pretty sure all my older and wiser friends know most of those already…and let’s be real, 26 things is a lot to read on a Monday 😉  
I’m pretty sure 26 is a weird age, even though I’ve only been technically that old for less than a day. It’s this in-between time where you’re starting to figure things out in life {maybe?}, but you don’t totally have it together. I.e., you now have enough money to make yourself a fancy steak dinner, but 9/10 times you’d much rather eat cereal to give yourself more time to Netflix. But I’m looking forward to getting it a little more together each day of the 26-year old life. Maybe I’ll even throw in some green juice and yoga for good measure between checking out new bars and eating thai food…maybe. 
Regardless of what happens, I’m looking forward to this year to stumbling my way through life {because let’s face it, I’m pretty darn klutzy.} I’m hoping for more adventures, pushing myself out of my comfort zone, saying “yes” to things that scare me and “no” to things that I don’t actually want to do – because life’s too short for that, right? Let’s birthday cheers to that!

I’m keeping this year low key and hanging with a cute guy {who actually reads this silly blog of mine, hai!} eating at one of my fave Chicago spots, and celebrating with a few work friends tomorrow with beers and arcade games here. From the sounds of it, I’m turning 16 rather than 26, but that’s totally fine by me 🙂

    Happy birthday, sweet girl! I wish I was in town so I could take you out for birthday cocktails since my 26th birthday is in a couple weeks. 🙂 I know this year will be filled with great things for you – cheers!

    Happy Birthday, lady! I know the feeling: when did we grow up? or, did we….! Hope all is well! Can't wait to see everything that comes your way this year!

    Well well well! Happy 26th birthday, dear! I agree, your mid twenties is kind of a weird little life phase, but yet it also feels like there are a lot of possibilities ahead! Wishing you many blessings this next year! xo
