It's my birthday. This is a special one, not just because I'm 21. I wanted to write a blog about 21 years of life, and where I am right now. I guess I'll start with what has been on my mind the most lately. Some of the people that I know, know that my mom had breast cancer when I was a senior in high school. About a month ago my family found out that her breast cancer is back in her bones. Life has been rough ever since. The best way that I can describe it is for someone to imagine your mom telling you that she has terminal cancer. With my mom being sick, makes this birthday the most special for me. I have come to cherish the special times that I can spend with her and the rest of my family. I really wanted to put this out there for people to know, and for people to understand if I have/will act a little different. So if your pray, please pray that my mom is healed, so that she will be able to share many more birthdays with me. I really didn't want to turn 21. I loved being 20. Anyone who has spent any time with me knows that I never really want to grow up, and that I love being young. For some reason I want to stay 20 my whole life. This past year was a great year for me. It's funny how many things have happend over the course of the year. This year started off with me enrolling back in school. I took the whole year of 2006 working in Colorado and opening a business with my dad. Going back to school was a little weird at first. It's funny that I started back in school at southern union. I have been an Alabama fan my whole life and hate auburn. For some reason I really wanted to go to Auburn and do building science. I moved to Auburn and have not looked back since. You always end up where you are supposed to be. I have fallen in love with the city of Auburn. I find that when I'm gone, I really miss being down there. Something about the town makes me smile everyday. I try to take advantage of everyday that I have there. I know that I will miss Auburn when I have to leave. Until then, I know that I am going to have a great time! I start classes at AU in January. I'm excited for the "next chapter" to begin. I never thought that I would be pursuing a civil engineering degree at AU. I can't wait to see what the next 3 years hold.
To all of my facebook friends, thank you for my birthday wishes. I hope that everyone enjoys their christmas break. I have to say thank you to my parents for 21 great years of life. To any friend or family member who can't make the birthday "party" you will be missed. I have to say thanks to God. He has blessed my life more than I deserve. I know that I wouldn't be where I am today without him watching over me. I have wonderful friends and an amazing family. That in and of itself is enough for me to have a great birthday.
If you are in Birmingham on friday the 21st, my boy Michael Warren is playing at Workplay Theatre 9pm.
