worldwide respect

I just turned 25. Which is a big age to me. Something about it feels... different. I feel it is a universal age of respect. So what if I'm a college graduate, employed, and been married for 3 years. I feel like the world doesn't take anything but my age in to effect. And I feel as though 25 is when World says "Katie, you are now a woman." Or at least that's what I thought until I heard an article say that it is now thought that 30 is the worldwide age of adulthood. Shucks.
I do think 25 is going to be good to me. Maybe changes will come in my life, maybe they won't. Maybe in a year I'll be so thankful 25 is gone and 26 is here- (one more year closer to universal respect and maturity). But for now, I'm going to soak in 25 for all it's worth. After all, my birthday and the Olympics fell in the same week. That's got to be a good sign for something, right?
Couple of my favorite birthday gifts? Glad you asked. My parents got me a Chi Hairdryer. This thing is heavenly. (I can dry my hair in under 3 minutes, y'all. And I have a LOT of hair). The in-laws got me a Pandora bracelet. I am in love. Husband got me gorgeous flowers. And I will be using my cash to purchase Direct TV Sunday Ticket so I can watch the Steelers every move... Don't judge.
