quarter life.

I am very happy that it is finally warming up and that the sun is still out when I leave the office each day! With that being said, it means the spring and summer are right around the corner!

That being said, I will be turning 25 (ahh) this May and have decided to take my quarter life crisis by the horns. I do not usually do much for my birthday - M usually takes me out to dinner and that is more than enough for me - birthdays are just not a big deal to me.

But with the 'BIG 2-5' looming over my head, I am freaking out a wee bit. Yes, I enjoy what I do for a living, own a home, am dating the love of my life...but man did I think I would be in a different place when I was 25. And by different place I mean following my passion for dance. This is the age when most ballerinas are already thinking about retiring and giving up on dance really is a big regret of mine. Granted a career in communications is a much easier/safer life, but I never thought I could miss dancing so badly.

Anyhoo, I am using 25 as an excuse to get all of my best friends together for a week in the Outer Banks. Pretty exciting stuff considering I usually don't even go out for drinks for my big day. We have rented a five bedroom house on the beach with a pool, hot tub, gazebo...perfection. The trip is proving to be a great distraction from the turning-25-bit that spurred it!
