I’m having a hard time with this birthday. 25. I know some of you are rolling your eyes at me now, but it seems like 25 was always so far away. When someone ask how old I am, my first instinct is literally to say 19. I don’t think I’ve changed since then. Whenever I do one of those online surveys, I have to change from the 18-24 box to the 25-34 box. Crazy!
I did just get the “Babies having babies” award for being the youngest mom in our mom’s club.
I’m still young, I know.
A few people think I’m awesome enough to do BIG DEAL things for my birthday.
Because, hello? I’M a big deal!
First would be Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, who rearranged their schedule so the CMA’s could be on my birthday. How thoughtful, huh?
And my amazing parents who, as you read this, are on a flight from GA to CA to be with me for my birthday weekend. It is going to be jammed packed with shopping, wine tasting, sightseeing, and lots of eating food that I don’t have to cook. PERFECTO! I am so excited and honored that they are coming all this way just for me!
For my celebration, I’m heading over to Sprinkles for some of these:
And I’m going to eat them along side my signature drink as of late:
The Lemon Drop Martini, which is nothing but incredible.
Then tomorrow, I am going to wake up, a 25 year old, who refuses to stop shopping at Forever 21 until I’m 90, who will always wear my heart on my sleeve and cry at the drop of a hat, who loves deeply, trust too easily, and is extremely blessed beyond measure.
Exactly the same as I was at 24.

Awwwwwwwww Happy 25!!! 25 is waaaaaay better that 22 or 26… it's a definite number and it makes you old enough to be treated like an adult but keeps you young enough to wear stilettos and shop at forever21:) i say it works perfectly:)
Happy B-day and hope you have a great time with your family!
Rachel says
Happy birthday girly! I told BF the same thing… it didn't really sink in until I had to check the "25-35" box for the first time. EEEEK! 🙂

Happy Birthday. I went to see Brad Pasiley and Carrie Underwood a few years ago and it was the best concert ever. I want to see them again so bad.
Kelly says
Happy Birthday!!! Those cupcakes look amazing, just like you do at 25. It goes by quick and I don't feel any older than 20 and I am 27. 🙂

Rachel McPhillips says
Girl, I just turned 25 this year. IT. WAS. AWFUL. I want a cupcake and a martini, so have one for me! Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Amber says
Hapy Birthday! I am so bummed about turning 23 this year. The husband and I went to a high school football game a few months ago and just seeing all of the young cheerleaders and football players made me feel so old. I know, I'm probably getting a few eye rolls right now but I really do feel old. I think it's the fact that I'm married and have a baby on the way. Oh well, age is just a number right? I've been telling people for two years that I'm still 21, anyway 🙂
Carrin says
Happy birthday! I say shop at forever 21 as long as you can! My mom just bought a super cute outfit there and she is 56!
Alison says
Happy Birthday hun! Enjoy 25 because life seems to start going faster after that birthday for some reason. Ugh! I'm not sure how I became 27 so quickly but I'd give anything to be back at 25! And now that I've completely depressed you I'm going to carry on… 🙂 🙂
Ashlee says
Happy birthday Girl!!! You are beautiful and I hope you have an amazing birthday, you deserve all ove it! oxox
Amber says
Happy Birthday! Sounds like your 25th is going to be so much fun! My family all but forgot about my birthday…no party or anything special! For me it's a landmark birthday…then 30…I'm not going there!
Happy birthday fellow 25 year old! I still feel like I'm 19 too…I have to think about my age when asked LOL
*Kc* says

Natasha says

Becky says
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Molly! Happy birthday to you.
I had trouble with 25 too…but that is 7 years ago now for me…almost 8. I had more trouble with 25 then 30. It's all good. every day you are truly only one day older. And you can shop wherever you want as long as you want. They wouldn't know what to do without you!!!
mommywonderland says

Happy belated Birthday! Stopping by from SITS.
I remember 25, I HATED birthday 25, it was by far the worst EVER. I don't know why…..25 just seemed OLD.
Now I'm 38, I don't even care about my age. I haven't cared since birthday 25 so in a way it gets a LOT easier!
🙂
Hope your birthday was wonderful!!!
Kristen says
Happy birthday you young mommy! And I am so there with you…loving the lemon drop martini's…not being 25 {damn!}
Kelly says
I hope you had a Happy Birhtday!! Another reason I liked you from the beginning….I am a Scorpio too! 11/20!
Kara @ His, Hers and Ours says
Happy Bleated Birthday! It looks like you had an amazing time, and those cupcakes look scrumptious! WOWZA!
Enjoy being 25. I'm gulping pretty hard at turning 30 in just a few months. Yikes! Please tell me 30 is the new 20!! lol
Summer says
Oh No!!!! I missed your birthday????
I am an awful friend….does the fact that my sisters came make up for it???
Happy birthday my love, and don't you worry your pretty little face about 25. You are YOUNG!
And with each year that comes, more and more wisdom comes with it. I love being in my 30's!
