Sorry it has been awhile since I have posted anything. It seems like I have been so busy lately. But I am finally settled into the new house and Mason is at his dad's for the weekend so I have some time to write (actually type).
I turned 21 not too long ago, which to a lot of people is a milestone birthday. You see so many people post about how "I've finally made it" or something about their horizontal drivers license. When I turned 21 I didn't feel that way. Everyone kept asking me if I was excited to turn 21, and honestly I wasn't that excited at all. All of my friends were more excited than I was. I already felt like I was 28 so turning 21 wasn't a big deal to me at all. I have so much responsibility in my life that being able to go to a bar and drink isn't the highlight of my life. I completely skipped that stage of my life and I don't think there is any going back. The highlight of my life is getting to spend time with Mason and watch him grow up. I couldn't do that if I was at the bar all the time.
Honestly my biggest care on my birthday was if I was going to be able to talk to Mason. I could have cared less about going out and drinking, the only thing I wanted for my birthday was to hear my baby boy's voice. I waited all day to get a call but I never did. I was really hoping that I would be pleasantly surprised that his dad would have him call me for my birthday. I knew if I didn't talk to him it would ruin my whole night so finally by around 8 I decided to call and see if I could talk to Mason. Garrett wasn't with Mason but he said he would have him call me once he was with Mason again. An hour went by and I thought I was never going to get a call. I had started to give up hope but finally my phone rang. That 60 second conversation with Mason meant more to me than anything on my birthday. When you have a kid all of your priorities change. When others just want to go and get drunk on their 21st all I cared about was hearing "I love you mommy" from my son. It's the small things that truly matter.
Being 21 really hasn't changed a lot for me. Besides its another year that I want to fill with accomplishments. I started out with a big one by buying a house! I will have to share pictures one of these days. The other day I read a post somewhere that said "I will know I have made it once I have a family, own a car, and a house." If I were to go by that post I guess you could say that I have made it, but I would say thats a pretty short life if I was to stop accomplishing at age 21. I feel there is so much bettering of myself that I can/want to do. Just because I have finally bought a house doesn't mean I am stopping here. I have so many more goals for myself and I have so much drive that once I have reached one of my goals it doesn't mean that I am done. It makes me so sad and almost angry when I see people with no drive. I think you should always want to push and better yourself. I see people that have so much potential but they decide they are okay with where they are at in life and they just decide to settle. So today I hope you set a goal for yourself and don't stop until you have reached it. Once you have reached it don't stop there, make another goal. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
