Ever since I can remember, I've wished I was just a little older.
(I think it comes with the territory for a second child.)
I especially hated telling people my age over the past few years, though. As an 18-year-old college junior and then 19-year-old senior, I felt so far removed from the typical connotations associated with those numbers. Consequently, I avoided the age question by responding with my school status: "Oh, I'm senior over at BYU." Awkward, no? It wasn't much better as a 20- or 21-year-old young professional.
But somehow 22 just sounds different.
And, for once, I think it fits :-)
Hurray!! Happy Birthday!!!
