Today, I think I will reflect back on the past couple of days. First of all, Monday was my birthday and I turned twenty-three! This is so crazy to me! I have always very much enjoyed my birthdays, my age, and getting older. But, this one took me a little bit by surprise. Twenty-three seems really strange! It seems like just yesterday I was graduating high school and turning nineteen! I keep having to remind myself that even though I have not accomplished some of the things I wanted to accomplish, that I am back on track and my goals are in sight!

The birthday weekend was very good! On Friday my dad, brother and me went out for a very good steak dinner at Jimm's Steakhouse. If you haven't been, you should try it! The Classic Clubsteak is TO DIE FOR. Cooked to a perfect medium-pink perfection! It was a really good night, and I really enjoyed spending time with my dad and my brother!

The next day I took off for the lake with my best friends to spend time with some other good friends! We went out on the lake all day on Sunday and had so much fun. I saw so many people I knew and made some new friends, too!

Monday was my birthday and I was in for yet another steak dinner at my mom's. My step-dad cooked fillet's from Harter House on the Big Green Egg. Yum! Almost as good as Jimm's! It was the best night I have had in a long time. My brother, mom, step-dad, aunt, and best friend and me sat around the back porch talking, laughing, and eating amazing home cooked food! It was a great night!

Now, I'm back in the grind of school and the week, but I looked up and it's already Wednesday! I'm already ready for another weekend of fun and friends!
