For some reason 24 sounds like so much older than 23.
Birthdays have never been a huge deal for me.
Maybe it's being so close to Christmas and New Years?
Rather than really celebrating, I prefer to use it as a time to set goals and focus on the year ahead
{you know, what everyone else does at New Years...}
24 things I look forward to in my 24th year:
1. Celebrating 2 years of marriage with my wonderful husband!
2. Spending Less & Saving More! We're preparing to embark on No Spend February. We're also looking for other ways to cut back on the budget and spend less on frivolous items and make large investments!
3. Hank, Johns Grandpa will be turning 75 & having a big birthday bash with all the family!
4. My upcoming job change!
5. My youngest brother will be graduating from High School!
6. John and I plan to return to Galveston when we go to Houston for his cousin, Matt's, graduation!
7.Living in a new house! We can't wait to buy a house! I look forward to -
