What?! I’m 27?!

First of all, the following picture is not very flattering...but I had to share it because my friend McKenzie is G.R.E.A.T!!!! She invited me out for a girls night tonight- sushi and drinks- without knowing that it was my birthday tomorrow...and after telling her how great her timing was because it kept Jared from taking me out for sushi for my B-Day she really did it up...

 
After dinner, we continued the fun my going back to her place...where she also happened to have some cake on hand!!!

I had a BLAST! There were three of use- and we worked together on the same unit that I was hired to when I was originally began working at The Mad House...so it was great to talk about work with people who understood me, as well as about life in general and of course relationships…

I don't make friends easily...I've been hurt by a lot of people in my past...I'd rather have a few close friends v.s a lot of acquaintances.

Unfortunately, a lot of the great friends I've been making lately seem to only be temporarily present in my life because either I move, or they move...for instance, my new friend McKenzie and her husband are only living in Minnesota until next August due to the military...which completely breaks me heart.

By-the-way...do you think I look 27?!?!

I know I might be crazy, but I associate the age 27 with wrinkles because my preceptor for my nursing internship (in 2008) was 27 and she has some nice little wrinkles going on...

I don't know how old I really look, and I guess I don't care...but I sort of secretly think I look the same now at the age of 27 as I did at the age of seven...

I know that is not a realistic thought…but I definitely don’t feel 27.
