what next?

so i have finally reached my 25th year of existence...a quarter of a century you might say...halfway to thirty...mid-twenties...etc. i don't "feel" old but when i say i am that age, i think, wow that is old. i remember watching reality tv shows or shows like the bachelor/bachelorette and thinking---wow that contestant is 25/26 that is old!---and now, i have finally caught up to "that age".
this past weekend was very relaxing...but at the same time very busy. friday i rolled into memphis and whenever i travel to memphis for weekends, i wait to eat lunch when i get home...which ends up being 3/4 o clock. and at that point, i am starving, but not starving. you know that point where you are so hungry you aren't? plus factor in a boring 3 hour drive and your stomach and insides don't know what to tell you. haha. and friday night michael and i went to dinner with his family and went to visit his grandmother who was recently moved from the hospital to a rehab facility. she had open heart surgery. then saturday i did my long run, and wandered around germantown and saddle creek and of course made a trip to anthro and got to see wad. and saturday night michael took me to dinner, and the place he was taking me was going to be a surprise. we went to bonefish which was SO good. they are known for their bang bang shrimp and of course yummy seafood...but happy birthday to me, i got a steak. :) then we were going to go see a movie and ended up sitting in the malco cordova parking lot people-watching...where we saw the funniest of people and michael made voices for them as they walked to their cars and we watched. it was quite entertaining and VERY MUCH something we would find ourselves doing. then sunday was church and we went to lunch with my rents on my actual BDAY at owen brennan's. if you have not been to their new "sunday brunch" thing you MUST GO! it is buffet-style...and so good. then sunday afternoon we let out tummies rest and ate bday cake from oh my ginache! (haha don't ask, my mom found this bakery and loves it). and sunday night we went to eat at mortimer's with our friends which was yummy but at this point, michael and my stomach's were miserably full. i have never NOT wanted to see food in my entire life...and we were both miserable. then monday my mom had some surgery done in her mouth which i observed and i packed up to head back to nashvegas! i am still so full, but of course, i can always eat. food just is not as appealing as normal...
so what next? school. school. and more school. and staying in nashville this weekend, finally! and doing...school!
so thankful for great friends and a wonderful supportive and loving family. the best family someone could ask for. and i'm so thankful to be this age and looking forward to years ahead!
