24 Years Old Today

Today is my 24th birthday. It is so strange that once you have a baby your birthday immediately seem less significant... or maybe it is because I am just 24. It's kind of a boring birthday, but definitely better than 23. I have a thing about odd numbers- it just doesn't sound as nice as a even number. It's funny because we were trying to have Savannah on a even birthday. We actually thought she would come late. I really wanted February 2nd or 4th. She came much earlier on 1-13-2009. Go figure.

Well, last night (while up with Savannah around 3 am) I was thinking about what I have done in these 24 years. I started to break it down (I fell asleep by the time I got to 11 years old):

I added pictures and was shocked about how much I changed!
