So, it is almost September 16th and that means that I am almost one year older! It's kind of crazy because I remember turning 20 almost a year ago and I never thought that a year later I would be sitting on my pink and blue plaid bed in a house on E St. SE in Washington, DC, but here I am! Today was another great day in the life of Erin Holahan! I worked from 8-2 at Ebenezers and then went to Georgetown with a friend from work! Our goal was to go to the DMV to renew my license and switch it to a DC license, but we found out that the DMV is closed on Mondays! Our original mission was not accomplished, but we had good food and a great time together! Then I took the metro to Pentagon City (by myself) and met Crissa (one of my roommates) at the mall! We shopped around for awhile and when our feet grew tired and we accomplished all we wanted to accomplish (and more) we decided to head home. We got home to the rest of our roommates cooking in the kitchen and we enjoyed each other for awhile, chatting and making food. It was nice to have everyone together...that doesn't happen often! Crissa and I are waiting until midnight to open a bottle of wine and welcome in the beginning of my 21st year of life (and what a life it has been)!
Birthdays are a great way to remember and reflect on the past and I have to say that I feel so blessed! I have the greatest gifts anyone can ask for and they cannot be bought...I have family and friends who love me and a God who continues to astound me! There were so many cards and packages waiting for me today when I got home and I am just truly touched by everyone who I have had the chance to "do life" with (as Pastor Mark always says) these 21 lovely years!
Praise God! I love birthdays because I can't help but feel an overwhelming gratitude to God for life, my heart just feels more full and aware of the love that is around me!
Love to all! Cheers!
