Happy Birthday to Me!!!!

Today is my 25th birthday! At first I was kinda bitter because that means I am half way to 50 and I still don't know what I want to do with my life. I don't know if its a midlife crisis or something but I am at the point where I want to figure out what I really want in my life. Its been a good day so far, I had breakfast in bed and later on tonight we are going to have a potluck with all our friends and family. Well not all of our friends but the ones that really care. I realized something while planning for this potluck. The thing that I realized is that who are really my good friends. Don't you hate it when you plan an event and no one responds? Even when you try to call them or write them and you get that feeling that you are getting ignored. That is how I was feeling yesterday. Every time I would call one of my girlfriends no one would answer. Its kinda weird that no one would answer their phone. I was getting really frustrated and was wondering why I even try. It reminded me of two events that happened in my life. The first one was my 13th birthday I think, my first birthday at our apartment in Layton. My mom was feeling bad because the birthday before I didn't really have a birthday because we just moved from Ogden to Layton and she wanted me to have a great birthday that year so she got a hold of all my friends to throw a party for me. I remember sitting out in the front of the apartments waiting for people to show up and no one came. I really felt horrible and my mom felt so bad for me. Another event was my baby shower I invited my friends and none of them showed up. It was just my family. You think by now I would learned my lesson. Well let me tell you I have learned my lesson now. Now I know who to invite and who to not. My family mean the world to me and they will always be there for me and I thank them for that. My close friends also mean the world to me and they know who they are, because they are there for me also. When I married Chris I kinda gained his friends and that makes me feel good inside because they are really nice to me and they are always there for me. I think also since they are older they are more mature so they don't deal with drama and that is what I like. So tonight I am going to have fun with the people that really matter in life and forget the other people that don't matter.
