Best (or Worst) thing about being in your late 20's.
• The best thing is being here to be able to enjoy what matters in life.
What hasn't changed:
• My family is still the best. I am so proud to be a mother, an aunt (three times over), and I truly appreciate seeing my Dad and Mom. My best friends Brooke and Sarah. I don't get see them as much as I would like, but they are always close and there when it really matters.
What has changed:
• I really appreciate my life, and what I have been so fortunate to be blessed with.
