Today I have become a quarter of a century old and honestly, that is crazy. I feel like everyone has a image in their mind of what their life will look like when they are 25 and I don’t think it was similar to what it really is. For one I always thought I would get married at 25 (welp, that happened at 22), and I certainly never thought that I would have moved across the country as many times as I have. I am very happy with where my life is currently however no matter how different it is from what I imagined.
Last year I wrote for my birthday 24 things that I learned in 24 years which you can read here but I figured I would switch it up a bit this year and talk about some of the things that made this year one of the best yet
- Was in my Best Friend’s Wedding
- Graduated with my Masters! (and experienced some impostor syndrome)
- Got my first post-grad job
- Moved back to British Columbia and furnished our first place
- Planted some vegetables and kept them alive all summer

- Read almost 300 books since this time last year
- Got in a better habit of meal and clothes prep for my busy week
