Mom: "I wore that 40 years ago!" looking at an old scarf.
Cindy: "When I was born?"
Mom: "No! 20 years before you were born!"
Cindy: "Ha ha... oh yeah."
Turns out I'm only 20. Go figure.
My teenage years are long gone. I have no idea where the time has gone! I was talking to a few girls in my ward the other day and one of them mentioned that she dreaded her 20th birthday. Not me. I welcomed it with open arms. But 20 used to be so old! I don't feel old at all. I'm curious if there's a point in life where I'll feel old? Every time I (or Kevin) tell my mom she's old, she says something like, "I still feel like I'm 13 sometimes!". I guess no matter how many candles are on my cake I may never feel "old".
I like being 20 nonetheless. It's only been 2 and 1/2 weeks so far and it's been great! I like my life. A lot. And I want to enjoy all of it. I want to enjoy right here, right now. I don't want to wish I was anywhere else. There's a lot to look forward to! Learning to be happy with my life now, will help me be happy in the future. "Finding Joy in the Journey" by President Monson is a great talk.
On a totally different note. Going to Las Vegas to meet Simon for the first time was fun.
It's hard to see his face, but it has "Cindy, you're my favorite aunt!" written all over it.
He was talking to me.
I can't believe how long his eye lashes are!
Simon's blessing.
He was sleepy.
So was I.
Simon IS so cuddly! I've experienced it first hand and I loved it! Isn't his little stretched out arm cute?
I love Janet.
He's so cute :) Love his dimple
Here are a few random pics. I wasn't there, but they're sure cute anyway.
Gracey
Simon and Camille
Lucy. There's so much light inside of this little girl. She just glows
Paisley is out of control.
I cannot help but smile everytime I see this picture.
It's easy to be fooled by this cute, innocent face... It's fooled me multiple times.
She's hilarious!
One more thing. I've been thinking about this summer a lot this past week. I don't like the idea of living at home and working... I've thought about staying in Provo, but I don't really like that idea either. I may go to Atlanta to spend the summer with Kristy and Company. I've been thinking about this a lot and we've talked about a few possibilities. We'll see what happens though. Something will work out.
And NO I do not plan on going out there to find a husband. That "trend" ended years ago...

Cindy, I loved all of those pictures! You look so happy with Simon, and sheesh I would be too. Cutest little guy! And I totally agree with you, though at times it's hard not to wish for what I don't have, I agree that I want to love every minute of life NOW! Thank you for reminding me of that :)Love you!
I want that picture of Lucy! It is so cute! I LOV-ED my 20's, so I'm glad you're enjoying them! Life just gets better and better the older you get!
I think you read my mind because as soon as I saw that you were thinking about going to Atlanta I thought..."oh, no! another Georgia boy in the family!" J/K I love those Georgia boys! I will be sad if you're away again for the summer, but you do whatever you feel is good for you! Good luck with your decision...I LOVE YOU!
Camille you are so lucky to be in Romania. This is a once in a life time opportunity. I know you know that :) Enjoy all of it though! It's going to pass you by so fast. You really are so great. Thanks for being the best roommates ever!
Amy I'll email that picture. I have another one of Lucy too. I miss her :) And you :)
I CAN read minds, you know. I don't think our family can handle anymore Georgia boys. We already have our share. Or more than our share, with Philip. You know I'm kidding! I love Philip to death. Our family wouldn't be complete without him.
We'll see what happens. I'll keep you updated. Love you Am! Thanks for marrying my brother :)
I meant "roommate" Camille. You obviously are only one person, which means only ONE roommate. I don't like typos very much :)
How did I miss this post? weird.
I felt the same way when I turned 20.. not old enough or mature enough. ANd here I am ten years later wondering how the time passed so quickly. Enjoy being single and free to do whatever you want. Life does get better (and more complicated with more responsibility..)
I love the pictures of you and Simon. People don't realize how cuddly he is until you hold him. He loved you from the minute he laid eyes on you.. favorite aunt for sure. (sorry Amy)
Georgia sounds fun. I loved my time there (the summer before I got married) but just so you know... you could ALWAYS come to Vegas. It's closer and I am sure you could find an awesome summer job (and have your own bedroom and bathroom.. and hang out at the pool with us everyday :) Just throwing it out there..
