Every single day, hour, minute, and second we get a little bit older. Why is it that actual birthdays make us feel so much older? Today I'm getting closer to my mid-thirties and leaving early thirties behind. Yep, today I turned 33. BAMN!

More than my birthday though is my friends Ryan & Stacey Hayter having their first child. I haven't heard the announcement yet but I know they were scheduled for a C-section at 12:30 today. Life. It's a pretty special gift that isn't given all that often, but lasts a long time and keeps on giving. So congratulations to the Hayters and their newest member of the family.

Each and every day I think I'm going to do this or that. Today I have to work out longer, have to make it to soccer, find a new roommate, get my finances together, get my car fixed, buy a house, sign up for pilates, etc. Each day is a new beginning to be or become what one aspires to.

For my 33rd year, I have a lot I want to accomplish. I plan on buying my own place to live in. I hope to find love. I hope to be successful in my new career. I hope to make new friends. I hope to make new investments. And I hope I make my 33rd year on this earth the best of my life.

Too much to ask?
