the one where I am turning 29

In just one month I will be entering the last year of my 20's. CRAZY. I have days where I still feel like I am 21. Its like I blinked and the past 8 years have flashed before my eyes. I guess that isn't so insane considering everything that has changed in my life over the last 8 years.
Just doing a little reflecting on life this past decade and WOW how much I have grown. Don't get me wrong, I still have my days where I feel like my insecure 17 year old self is taking over.. but for the most part.. I am at such a good place. Life is where I always dreamed it would be at this age. My wonderful husband, my beautiful babies, a career I love, living outside of York and really just doin' the damn thing (ok sorry my 17 year old self came back for a sec haha). I wonder what I did to really deserve to be where I am right now.. and then when I look back, I realize I really earned it. The past decade wasn't necessarily easy. There was so much growing. So much maturing. Bad times. Confusing times. Finding myself times. But it all led me to here. I am living proof that what is meant to be will be and fate does exist.
Some of the highlights of my 20's:
-Meeting Dan. Corny, I know... but I always think about how we met and how I persued him and every which direction our love went and it truly only gets better over time.
-Turning 21 (duh). Judge all you want but my gosh this made me happy. Bars. Social drinks. Dinner drinks. I loved every second of that night that lasted about an hour.
-Living with Bertha. We had so, so, so much fun! And I am SO happy I got the experience of living with girlfriends before I just moved out of my parents house and right into my married house. The nights staying up watching tv, dance parties, picnics in our living room, we shared everything. I am so grateful for those memories.
-Getting Married and our Honeymoon. We need another week at an all inclusive. There is no one I can travel with besides Dan where we can have so much fun just the two of us.
-Finding my 'thing' with work. Real estate has been so amazing. Even with the ups and downs of when you are busy or slow season.. the stress that comes along with finding your next lead, not getting paid until settlements, etc.. I will take this job for as long as it will keep me :)
-The friends I have made since Lancaster. Other than 2-3 people I have stayed close with from York, most of my friends are from my adult life. It is amazing how much a friendship truly means when these are the people you go through the TRUE trials and tribulations of life with. So grateful for my squad.
-My nieces. They mean the world to me. It has been really fun seeing them grow and watching how my brother and sister have evolved as parents.
-Going to Italy. I lived there as a child and even though Italian was my first language I lost most of it. I can understand better than I can speak. Getting to see my family over there and see how they live, and them get to meet Dan.. it was a really amazing experience.
-Victoria Luna and Ava Estelle. They are two things that remind me there really is a higher power. I was trusted to raise these girls, girls who will one day grow up to be women who can change the world. Mark my words. These girls are truly going to do something in their lives. Something I probably cant even imagine right now.
-Buying our house in Lancaster. I love this city so much. I love our home.

I am going to make year 29 the one where I let loose, get rid of some stress and anxiety and really just appreciate life in the moment.

Where I am is exactly where I am supposed to be. <3
