Winter Wonderland

Winter is a very weird time of year, when the days are shorter but seem to last forever at the same time. One moment it is sunny and bright out, the next it is dark, cold and uninviting - the weather has such a huge effect on our moods; I vow to only live in a place that is warm and sunny!
This weekend was loads of fun! After a work-filled Saturday, I joined friends at a bar for a few drinks and then around midnight we took it to the club, dancin our booty's off till 4am! Then on Sunday Lee and I spent the afternoon shopping and followed it up with an evening of baking cookies and a movie; my perfect weekend! Monday was back to work with the kiddies and a week of Chinese class, trips to the gym, bowling and all the usual excitement in Taiwan!
In ten days I will be celebrating the day of my birth, 24 years ago, and for some reason I am having a hard time dealing with this fact. That's an under statement: accepting this truth is like believing that I am a quarter century old, that I have graduated from university, that I am working as a teacher and living with my boyfriend in another country on the other side of the world - and that's just ridiculous.

It's not ridiculous! YOu're doing so well! One day you'll look back and say, hey. I did that. Look how amazing it was. And you'll miss what you have now. Just cherish, that's the best thing you can do- as well as all you can do :) Love it! You're living your dream life!

Hey
You are too silly. Let me remind you of a few things...darling...so don't go getting ahead of yourself. You are not a quarter century old, you are only going to be 24!! You still have time before you have to deal with that! hahaha And graduated from university...well that is ok, you can always go back and graduate again!! so you dont have to worry about that! Living with your boyfriend...well we can pretend he is some random guy...and being half way around the world...come on michelle, you are closer than that!! So you see, no need to worry or freak out, put it all in perspective and know you are loved no matter where you are or who you live with or when you graduated or how old you are. you are you and you are special!
Be happy to be where you are and who you are, we love you for all of that!
MISS YOU!!
