HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today is my 24^th birthday!! Woo Hoo!! I am a huge fan of birthdays. Growing up birthdays were always such a special day, I remember a fond memory of the first birthday that I was brought breakfast in bed by my parents, it was the perfect start to a special day and I think I’ve come to expect it every year for my birthday since then. I feel super blessed for this life, for the people who love me and that I so deeply love. To have a family (both immediate and in-laws) that make me feel so safe. I am so thankful for God and all that He has given me and done for me, without Him, I would be nothing. So in honor of my 24^th birthday I have come up with a list of 24 things that I have done in my life that I am proud of. Some of them serious, some a little silly, but all I’m equally thankful for.
