What 23 Taught Me

So, I've been 24 about a week now... almost anyway.  Twenty-three was a big year for me.  There have been a lot of huge events: getting engaged in February, moving to St. Louis in May, and now getting married this coming December.  A lot has happened, and I guess it seems right that I might try to reflect at least a little.

So, without further adieu, and in no particular order:

What 23 Has Taught Me:
 -Sometimes, you have to be your own biggest cheerleader.
  -Not all pizzas are created equal.
-Caring for something that trusts you implicitly and loves you unconditionally makes you want to be a better   
  person.  
-Sometimes, heavy people can move faster than lighter ones.  Especially if you’re zip-lining.
-Sugar cubes are so much better than regular sugar. 
-You appreciate Autumn so much more when your whole Summer was 100+ degrees. 
-Nobody ever said you have to be pregnant to wear maternity clothes. 
-There is no substitute for your mommy. 
-You’re never too old for a tea party.  
-There’s something really special about getting to read aloud to someone.  I’m glad it was something I was 
  able to rediscover. 
-I have no idea how I made it this long without a dog.  I also have no idea what I’ll do when she’s gone. 
-You don’t have to be perfect to have confidence in yourself.
