In the last few months I feel like my life has been turned upside down and I'll be honest, I've been looking forward to this birthday more than any other. Most people view New Years as the time to 'start new' with a new year ahead. Not me, I view my birthday as a new year. So my birthday this year was a chance for me to have a fresh start. As the years pass, I'm learning that it's not the wild and crazy adventures that mean the most on my birthday, it's who I spend them with that matters.
Although it's only a few hours into my day, the best part by far was waking up next to my favorite boy, Gordie. Who doesn't love puppy snuggles first thing in the morning? :)
This year I've decided to do something a little different. I've made a list of 32 things I hope to accomplish before my next birthday. Some may be things that are fairly easy while others may need a miracle to accomplish but I'm determined to cross them all off my list, I hope.
A 32 year olds must-do list for the year:
- Go on a road trip to tour breweries
- Try at least three places on the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives that I haven't been to
