And the countdown begins!

Yesterday was the 10,833rd day of my life aka my 29th half birthday. I am offically six months away from my 30th birthday...So much to do and so little time!

When I was nine I would have never thought that at age twenty nine that it would just me living in a apartment in the big city, watching the bachelor, and content. I thought I would follow in my mother's footsteps- get married to my college boyfriend after graduation (would have helped if I had a college boyfriend), move into a house in the 'burbs, and have my first child at age twenty four. Well honey, twenty four has loooooonnnng come and gone, and there are no babies that I call my own (thank goodness). When I think about how I spent my twenties, I can honestly say that I didn't hold back. I played hard, had many nights I can't remember with friends I'll never forget, lost myself and evloved into a new and improved self, and really confirmed my faith with God. If there is anything I have learned this last year in my twenties its that being single is NOT the end of the world. I have accomplished so much, and I feel like there is still lots of stuff to do and see. I now know that I do not need a partner to do these things- however, if Mr. Right were to come around, I would totally let him partake in the fun!

It's time to go full force on my 30 by 30 list! I have crossed off some things, but I still have so much to do! So don't be surprised in the next 181 days, if you dear friends get a call and invited to help me cross something off my list! Here is what I have left to accomplish- WHO'S IN???
