27 x 27.

I turn 27 years old today and as I teeter on the brink of my late twenties (my friends and I agreed that I’m still in my mid until next year!), I’ve realized that as much as I have already accomplished, there’s still so much left to do and experience.  This year, I’ve created a list of goals — both large and small — to accomplish by the time the next birthday rolls around.  Check out my list below and let me know if you have any personal goals of your own this year!
