29 ain't so bad

29 is scary. I'm one year away from the big 3-0. Ah!

I could never imagine where I would be at 30 because it seemed soooooo old! Now, it's one year away. How is that possible? But, I also never imagined I would be celebrating my 29th birthday in New York! So, where will I be at 30? I'm still not sure. But, I do know that I will have a Master's in Social Work and will have lived in New York for two years where I've stepped out of my comfort zone in every possible way, met amazing people, learned a ton, and experienced so much. I'm proud of that. Really proud.

More importantly, I have friends that love me, a family that loves me, a man that loves me, and a God that loves me. Those things alone make me incredibly grateful every single day. As long as that remains constant, getting older is a beautiful thing. I'm a pretty lucky 29 year old.

And a few weeks ago I was told I look like I'm 17. So, either I need to wear more mascara, or I'll look 20 when I'm 40. :)

I'm 29!

My bday celebration with amazing friends! These people have made New York feel like home. 29 ain't so bad!
