Happy Birthday To You...And You...And You!

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

I’m twenty-one!! Yes, it’s finally my birthday, and I’m totally legal now. I don’t know if I’m ready for adulthood, but here goes nothing…
And my baby sisters are five years old! I just can't believe it... it seems like we were getting the phone call to take them just yesterday. I'm so proud of them for all that they have accomplished in their lives so far, because after being born at 26 weeks and drug addicted, many people thought that they wouldn't be able to do a lot in life. But they're proving everyone wrong, and doing a fantastic job at everything that they do.

According to a friend who looked at pictures on Facebook that my mom had put up, it looked like Christmas at my house this morning because there were so many gifts sitting on the kitchen table. I was surprised to get some gifts that I didn’t already know about, since I usually have a hand in picking out my own presents as I’ve gotten older. Of course, in addition to the gifts I got today, I also still have to work with my mom to find a date that we can go to Aladdin on Broadway with my sister… I’m so excited!!

The party was fantastic today… everyone had a great time, and all of the kids (big and little) were wiped out after the fun. I actually got all of the baking done in time for the party and if the small amount of goodies leftover at the end was any indication, the kids really enjoyed the cupcakes and cookies! And I was extremely surprised when, after we sang to my sisters, a friend of my mom’s walked into the room holding a small ice cream cake for me! Everyone sang to me as well, and I really felt so special.

I thought I would start hating the fact that I share my birthday at some point, but the truth is that I love it even more each year. My little sisters and I share this amazing connection, and if we weren’t having a party for them, I know that I would have been sitting at home doing nothing. I may not have celebrated my twenty-first birthday the way most people would imagine it, with drinking and parties, but I celebrated exactly the way I wanted to, surrounded by loved ones.

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
