Goodbye 21, Hello 22!

Tomorrow, I'll say goodbye to being 21. 

I'll say goodbye to the age that everyone waits their whole lives for, and I'll be on my way to bigger and better things. While 21 has been an amazing year, I am so excited to see what 22 has to offer!

I feel like just yesterday I was having my birthday parties at Chuck E. Cheese, skating rinks, and my sweet sixteen at the Holiday Inn! How things have changed since then! I can even remember as a teenager, thinking that 22 was so old, but now my view has changed.

At 22 years old, I will be a whole year wiser than I was last September, and every year before that!

Over the past year, I have experience some of the happiest times of my life: here, here and here. I've also experience heartbreak, and the feeling of a relationship at its end. I've experience graduating college, and closing a huge chapter of my life. Then there was the beginning of another great chapter, a wonderful furry addition, and finding some of my biggest passions.

I've experienced having a bad roommate situation, sorority high and lows, feeling on top of the world and feeling defeated at times. But if I've learned anything in these 22 short years, it's that everything happens for a reason. Everything makes you stronger, and for that, I am thankful.

I feel so lucky to have gone through what I have, and while I don't know what 22 has to offer, I know it will be a great year!

I have a family that loves me, 

friends that will last a lifetime,

and an amazing dog that I love more than life! 

My life is not perfect by any means, but it's going well. God has blessed me beyond belief and I am so thankful.

Cheers to 22!

As always, Have a Sweet Day!
