Fat Cheeks and White Skin

So today I was rummaging through some things in my parents bedroom when I found a picture that made me laugh out loud. This is me when I was what?... Three? I have no idea. All I know is that I have huge cheeks and I look like I'm up to no good. Eh, what else is new? haha.
I remember when I was younger I would imagine talking to myself when I was 20. I thought it would be cool to know what I look like, who I was married to (I thought I would be at 20... HA!), and what I was doing with my life. I thought that I would be so wise at 20 and have had everything figured out. Maybe it's a good thing little me never met a little older me. I probably would have been severely disappointed. I'm not married, I'm not going to BYU like my parents, and I most definitely don't have everything figured out. The older I get the more I realize how young I really am.
Next month I will be turning 21 and I'm excited; not thrilled. Sure I can buy alcohol and have my drivers license changed from a vertical picture to a horizontal one (ooh da la lee right?) but what does it really mean?
For me, and I'm sure lots of other people, birthdays are a marker of progression and I'm pretty excited for a new year of change, progression, and experiences. Bring it on!!!!! Am I the same as I was when I was 19? Not even close. Will I be the exact same a year from now? I hope not :)

Ps, how in the world did I ever breath through that minuscule nose?!?!?! I think I had pin sized holes for nostrils. hahaha!

Yeah! You made another post. I was wondering the same thing, about your nostrils that is. I am so thankful you didn't suffocate as a child :) Ooh da la le for you almost being 21 which means I am almost 21!

I looked at this post at work and three people saw it and said "who is that cute little girl", or something to that effect. So don't worry about the chipmunk cheeks. People still think you looked adorable!!!
