Happy Birthday to me! Today is my 29th birthday and I’ll be honest – it just really feels like any other day, except for the fact that today marks the official start of the last year in my 20s. EEK! I’m not scared about 30, but I definitely feel like 30 marks totally unchartered territory and a fresh new chapter. I also am reminded that when I was in my teens I thought 30 was old. GULP! My twenties have been absolutely amazing, but I’m really eager to see what my 30s have in store 🙂 In order to commemorate closing out this decade of my life, I created a 30 Before 30 “bucket list” of sorts and I’m vying to complete as many as I can before January 12, 2019 rolls around! So, let’s get down to it.
