HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALLAN!!!

HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY TO MY AMAZING HUSBAND!!! 

HAPPY 25TH TO PROBABLY THE ONLY 25 YEAR OLD WITHOUT A SMART PHONE! (hahah sorry homeboy.... in due time! )

HAPPY 25TH TO THE GUY WHO WAS BORN IN THE WRONG CENTURY! (He literally should've been born in the 1800's.. or early 1900's..)

HAPPY 25TH TO THE GUY WHO HAS SUPER OLD FASHIONED VIEWS ON LIFE! (And I love you for that!)

HAPPY 25TH TO THE MOST SPIRITUAL GUY I'VE EVER KNOWN! (Seriously though..)

HAPPY 25TH TO THE GUY WHO HAS THE MOST AMAZING BLUE EYES! (I hope at least one of our kids get your eyes!)

And lastly... HAPPY 25TH TO THE MOST PATIENT, TOLERANT (of my random spurts of hyper acts, and crazy dancing), AND RESPECTFUL HUSBAND OF THEM ALL! (I know... I'm biased.)

I LOVE YOU!

I Don't Know About You....

BUT I'M FEELING 22!!!!

Is that getting old yet? Yes it is... but you're only 22 once so... what the heck.

Note: That will be the ONLY time I quote Taylor Swift... (gagging as I say her name..) Sorry T.Swift fans..

But yeah, today is my birthday! Trying to embrace my Gerascophobia and LOVE my birthday today.

I am excited for my FREE steak dinner at my FAVORITE steak place. Updates all about my birthday shenanigans tomorrow.

ALSO, I'm impressed at my 3 blog posts in a row! I don't know what's happening but I like it!

Yesterday I started a 100 happy days challenge to help me be grateful EVERYDAY for something even if I am having a bad day.

I quit eating candy a month ago and have been exercising and drinking a lot of water and it has made all the difference in the world so far! I have so much energy and have been overall happy!

I plan on keeping up with it and you guys, even fast food has been sounding more disgusting every single day! THAT IS HUGE FOR ME!!!! Yay for healthy habits!!!

Life has been pretty hard lately, and this 100 happy days challenge is just the thing I need to help me continue my healthy living.

At the 50 day mark, I will give an update on how I'm doing with this 100 happy days challenge. I will be posting my pictures via instagram! So follow me here if you want to join along or to just see the things that make me happy =)

 Here is the link to participate, although, you don't really think you need to "sign up" in order to participate! I did just to make it "official" in my mind. =)

Cheers to a happier me! 

Gerascophobia

Gerascophobia is an abnormal or persistent fear of growing old or ageing. Gerascophobia is a clinical phobia generally classified under specific phobias, fears of a single specific panic trigger.

Symptoms include the fear of the future and the fear of needing to rely on others to do daily functions. Many also fear they will not play an active role in society when they get older.
(Thank you Wikipedia for summarizing this for me..)

I can just see the eye rolls coming through my screen now.

BUT Yes, I have a fear of getting old. Usually this always spikes around my birthday (Wednesday to be exact)...  Let me just say that I HATE celebrating my birthday. One, because of the getting old thing.... and Two I don't like all the attention on myself.

Fear of growing old is a real thing you guys! It's irrational and there's nothing I can do about it... But the future is scary! I always joke with D that I'm having a quarter or fifth of life crisis. He just rolls his eyes along with the rest of the world when I tell them my fear!

People will probably think, "If you hate being the center of attention, then why did you say on your blog that your birthday is coming up?!" Chillllllll... I write what I want and I can write about my fears and hatred for MY birthday..

I love giving gifts, but always feel awkward receiving gifts. I would rather celebrate everyone else's birthday but mine. (unless you give me a million dollars... then I would probably celebrate my birthday... anyone? No?)

I'm trying to love celebrating my birthday and I need help!

For those of you with this fear.... HOW DO YOU GET OVER IT??
