Holy {insert a string of expletives here} crap! How is it possible that I only have 6 months left in my 20's?!?!? Part of me just wants to get it over with and an even larger part of me isn't ready to accept that I'm about to be 30! I will say that I have had an absolutely amazing 29 years on this planet. I have suffered my fair share of hardships but I know that my life is extremely blessed and I am profoundly grateful for all that I have done/seen/experienced in my life. I'm doing everything in my power to make sure that the next 6 months are just as amazing!
