I get to spend this day sitting trough Tropical Storm Lee. Which honestly it hasn't bothered me one bit. Its kinda nice to have a lazy birthday at home with the family and my new gift....MY KINDLE!!! We will save my new love for my kindle for another day. But so far today has been wonderful...I slept late, my Sweet Moma is making me cheesecake cupcake (my ultimate favorite), and I've gotten my birthday call from the "Birthday Lady" at church.
I haven't found anything to special about being 23. I've already experienced the 16th, 18th, and 21st birthdays and all that implies. I guess 23 is kinda half way between 20 and 25 and only 7 years from 30....YIKES!!! But I did a lil Googling, which I am notorious for, and found some ironic and interesting things about being 23 or the number 23.
- Dr. Pepper has 23 flavors
- 23 is the most commonly cited prime number
- Micheal Jordan wore #23
- Each parent contributes 23 chromosomes to create a baby
- William Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564 and died 53 years later on April 23, 1616
- "W" is the 23rd letter of the alphabet. "2" point down and "3" point up
I'm praying this year will be my best yet! I've recently graduated from the University of South Alabama with a BA in Radiologic Sciences. I've moved home to live with my Deddy and Sweet Moma. And I'm employed! Praise God! I have nothing but my adult life ahead of me...we are gonna see how that goes!
I'm not to sure how this blog is going to go, but I'm planning on giving it a good run! I have free time on my hand and wanted to give this a good try, hopefully yall will at least get a smile out of it!
Love, Alana.....The Birthday Girl! :)
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well."
Psalms 139:14
