I am doing life wrong...

I have come to find that I seem to be doing life wrong. I am 27.5 years old and have a whole lot of nothing to show for it. I should be married by now and have at least 2 kids at this point and a house. I a living in the boyfriend's mom's basement and I have 3 dogs and a cat. This isn't where I wanted to be.....

I think it really hit looking as my cousin Stephanie's wedding pictures. She looked so beautiful. I wasn't able to make it to the wedding, which I think makes me more sad. Growing up we were always so close, but now we are lifetimes apart. Also reading my other cousin Shalay's blog about her first baby being due in January. I had no idea she was even pregnant. I also found out her brother and his wife are expecting a baby too.

I can't figure out what is bothering me more. The fact that everyone is living life the way it should be or it's all happening and I didn't have any idea it was going on. I am thinking it's a strong combination of both.

I miss family. I miss the closeness we all had when we were younger and forced to spend every holiday and birthday together. I hate that we have grown up and grown apart.

2012 In a Nutshell

,

We adopted a new dog named Haizee in June. I randomly came across her on the ksl classifieds. She's nuts, but overall a great addition to our family,

 

 

In October our friends Kyle and Amy were getting married in Las Vegas. So decided to make a trip out of it and stopped in Mesquite for a couple nights and Vegas a couple nights. Probably one of the best trips of the year.

 

In July we also had an impromptu trip to Miles City, Montana. My first trip to Montana and the longest weekend of my life. Travis had to go out there to fix a hotel's internet. We left around 8:00 on Friday night. We drove all night long, got to Miles City around 8:00am Saturday. Swam in their "natural oasis" aka a giant pond. Left around 7:00am Sunday. We drove through Yellowstone, but didn't get to enjoy it much because we were on a time crunch to get the rental car back on time. Crazy, but really fun weekend. We forgot the camera, so I don't really have any pictures of it, which is really sad.
