But for now...
Today I say goodbye to my twenties and HELLO to my thirties! It's pretty crazy to me to think about the fact that my twenties are done and over with and I am on to the next decade of my life. In fact, if you've spoken to me over the past six weeks or so, you would know that I was dreading this day! However, as the actual day approached, I started thinking about all of the amazing things that happened in my twenties and began to realize that my thirties are a new opportunity; an opportunity to write a new chapter in this book of life and I am so ready to take it on!
To kick start this new decade of my life, I decided to create a "bucket list" of sorts for my thirtieth year of life. My goal is to accomplish all of these things during the next 365 days and I plan to document my journey! Don't worry, I promise to post more than that (see #6) and can't wait to share with you what God is working on in our lives! Until then...
