Things I’ve Learned Over the Last 27 Years!
Wow time really does fly by way too fast. My grandmother always told me that as I get older time would just flash before my eyes. She was right, each year that goes by seems shorter and shorter. I think it's because each year life gets more eventful and we get busier. It is so important to be present in each moment we have because time is precious!
26 was such an exciting year of life! Clinton and I went to Jamaica and Gatlinburg with amazing friends, many of our friends got married/engaged, we celebrated our first wedding anniversary, I finally hit 10k on Instagram ( y’all are the best), and I’ve made friends that will last a life time! Even though this year rocked, I think 27 will be even better.
I have always been weird about birthdays and turning one year older. This year I’m doing my best to have a different mindset. Each year of life is such a precious gift and it should be celebrated. I feel extremely blessed and appreciative to be happy, healthy and another year older. I wanted to share things I have learned over the last 27 years of life. Some are fun and some or a little deeper. Here we go!
