Two Hippie Chic

A gathering of pretty things, lovely links and loads of fun brought to you by one Western Hippie lady and one ex New York Chic gal.

Turning 27 in a few days and having deep thoughts

Things I thought I’d accomplish by 27, at age 16:

  • Graduate college
  • Get married
  • Have babies
  • Not work and raise said babies
  • Have a lot of money
  • Have an enormous house and nice car
  • Be a mature adult
  • Take wild vacations
  • Live the life
  • Have it all figured out

Things I’ve actually done by 27:

  • Graduated college and earned my master’s
  • Got married
  • NOT hopped on the baby train yet
  • Worked my ass off at jobs where I do not get paid enough
  • Have a car that I have 2 more years to pay off
  • Own a condo that needs work
  • Not be able to afford grandiose vacations
  • Budget like a mofo
  • Do not have life figured out.  Never will.
  • Realized I am a work in progress. 
  • Am not a mature adult.  I mean…the previous post was about dog farts.
  • Still though, I feel like I live the life.

I’m laughing at 16 year old me.  But really?  I’m pretty content with my current life.  I am a work in progress and feel like I’m doing exactly what I should be doing.  This next year will be an interesting one for Russell and me…big changes are ahead.

(Big changes do not mean babies.  Stay tuned.)
