Goodbye 31, Hello 32

Today is the beginning of Life: Chapter 32. I am currently sitting at work, but I did take the opportunity to go out and have some photos taken. I met up with my sister at one of my favorite parks with some of the most disrespectful balloons ever. Yes, they beat me up. I also made my way to Best Buy to pick up a shiny new iPad Pro. Happy birthday to me!

Even though, I didn't get to celebrate today, I did get to spend some time out with my family on Wednesday. We went to the movies to see War For The Planet Of The Apes, then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. It wasn't much, but for a weekday, it ended up being perfect.

Goodbye 31

As I look back on 31, I realize that I’ve accomplished more than I set out to. I enrolled in college last August to finish my Bachelor’s in Information Technology. I made the President’s List twice, and I’m on the Scholar’s List now. In February, I secured a new job in the IT field. Despite the fact that it may not be permanent, I’m enjoying the experience. In July, we took our first family vacation. We cruised for 5 days to The Bahamas. I also booked our next vacation to Washington, D.C. in October. Life is also looking a lot healthier, financially and physically.

Hello 32

I’m going into 32 as a much happier and less stressed person. I’ve learned a lot about myself and what I want for my life over the last year. I’m grateful for all of the support that I’ve had in making decisions about doing what’s best for me. My goal is to make 32 a million times better. It's past time to get those bucket list items checked off, or maybe even time to create a new one. I'm so excited about what this next chapter has in store.

    Happy Birthday! Spending time with family is always good. I think it's one of those things that you appreciate more as you get older. How was the movie?

    You sound just like me in the last couple of years! I have become a much happier, less stressed person and it's only getting better. Taking the time out to take care of yourself and accomplish your own goals are always huge contributors to a more positive life. Continue to make yourself happy.

      The movie was really good. I’m a huge fan of the series, and I felt like this one was an appropriate ending.
