It's not quite over yet, but in a couple weeks, I will turn 29 and enter the last year of my 20s. Wow! The 20s have been fantastic! So full of adventure, so rich in relationships, so many new, challenging, and rewarding experiences, so much stretching and growing. I love that no matter how much I plan, I never really know what the next year, week, or day will hold. As someone who also LOVES random lists, things I did for the first time in my life at the age of 28...
