Me: By the Numbers

It's hard for me to believe that another year has already come and gone. I really looked forward to turning the Big 3-0, but I'm not so sure how I feel about this 31st year. I had built so much anticipation up about turning 30 and now it's over! The year before I turned 30 I worked really hard to get myself into shape and on my birthday I had never felt better. I felt like I could conquer the world! The day in itself is bitter sweet for me for reasons I won't share here, but there are a few people who know why and that day will always have a significant meaning to me and to them I'm sure. But over all, my 30th year was pretty great! We made a lot of wonderful memories that I will cherish always and I look forward to the memories that are yet to come.
