Alright, y'all! I turn 35 today!! I seriously can NOT believe this for several reasons some positive and some not so positive. I don't feel or look like I am 35 years old. (Side note: If anyone wants to feel "young" again go to Oregon. They ID for EVERYTHING! I felt so good about myself.) On the other side of the coin, this is not where I saw myself at age 35.
For my 35th birthday, I thought I would share 35 things I have learned in 35 years. I hope y'all enjoy and if you have anything you want to add tell me in the comments.
