#25 complete a blog. so i realize i have been putting this off for quite some time. i guess it's because i don't want it to end. it's no longer about age and getting older but about the memories i made and the lessons i've learned. 25 was an amazing year. simply amazing. i went through many obstacles and tough times, but they had nothing on the good times, good friends and good laughs.
i changed my career path, started a blog, fell in love with a guy.. and a puppy, went back to school, pulled my first all-nighter, learned the necessity of a lug nut key when changing a flat tire, survived being the girlfriend of a deployed soldier, jumped out of a plane, ran into a frozen lake, flew in the water and challenged myself in so many new and exciting ways. through everything, i realized 25 isn't special. there is nothing special about it. it was such a special year because i made it that way. i got up and got out. i did things. i enjoyed the beauties God put on this earth and boy am i thankful He did.
many times i was asked, "where do you find all of these things?" the answer, as my mom would always say, right in front of your nose. the things i did were the things that you glance at. you see it and think "that sounds like fun," then move on with your busy day. i did it all the time. sure i did my research and utilized the miracle that is google, but truth be told i spent no more than 5 minutes finding each activity. in fact, i still have a long list of things i've found, or heard about, or seen on groupon that i want to try, and i will. i will continue to try new things and explore national parks or little wanderous watering holes because that's what they're there for. i don't want to just say i'm living life to the fullest, i want to experience life to the fullest and i intend to do just that.
so there ya have it, the end of my 25 in 25 blog. stay tuned for more ;)
