21 Found Me

My birthday was yesterday, and I turned 21.

I guess I didn't spend it the way "normal" 21 year olds do.

We did some more unpacking, drove home, finished our registry, and went out for dinner.

Then we came home for YUM ice cream cake.

I missed my family yesterday.

Well, I guess, the other half of my family.

But I think being gone to Chenzhou last year on my birthday helped this year's transition easier.

Last year's cake

But I was thinking throughout today 2 main things:

1. Only NINE more years until Chad and I get to adopt! (I told him I wanted paperwork for my 30th birthday!)

2. If you would have told me a year ago all the would happen between last year's birthday and this year's, I would've told you that you were crazy.

In the past year:

- Not one, but TWO cruises

- Changing my major

- Changing my school

- Getting engaged and planning a wedding

- Getting MARRIED!

- And preparing to go back to China

Wow, what a year.

Thanks, Hubs for the seasons of Grey's Anatomy to watch on the plane to China!
