another year older

Today I turn 26. And looking back over the last year I realised that I have mostly grown up. I don't think it's just the way that my course has caused me to look at the world differently I just feel more sensible and not as able to stay up really late all the time without really paying for it a few days later.
24 was the most fun year ever and 25 has been hard, lots of growing and learning but I know it will probably have set me up for the future. We all have to go through some tough growth times in order to become the people that God wants us to be.
26 I hope will be an exciting year, still learning and developing my professional identity (I have a lovely new sensible handbag - thanks Mum and Dad) and by my next birthday I will be a fully qualified professional!!!

In the mean time I will enjoy karaoke and the waterfront tomorrow night :-)
