October 29th fell on a Wednesday this year which happened to be my 22nd birthday. I never expected to turn 22 this fast, but it happens. The year flew by so fast and it is so hard for me to actually admit that I am getting older and my life seems to be going even more rapidly to keep up with it. I ended up getting dozens of gifts and a lot of “Happy Birthdays,” which brightened my day even more. This also means I have to buy a box of Thank You cards to show my appreciation.
That night R came over with flowers and took me to dinner at my favorite restaurant where we enjoyed appetizers, the main course, drinks, and my favorite mint and chip ice cream cake. My cake was even decked out with a solitary candle which I happened to make two wishes on just in case one didn’t come true, because I’ve really been needing a wish. 
Yes, I cheated.
It is kind of funny though, because I just thought about my first birthday party and the way I was dressed like a pumpkin eating cake on top of a table without a care in the world. I hope this year goes well for me and I accomplish a lot. Bring it on 22!
