Late 20s

I'm officially in my late 20s. Wasn't that long ago when I was just turning 20....about 7 years ago to be exact.

When I turned 20, I thought about what I wanted this decade to be and when I turned 21 I had reflected and wrote:

On my 20th birthday, I decided that I wanted this decade to be one that I spent loving people and loving Jesus. I wanted to be excited and be surrounded with people that love and support me and I want other people to know that I love and support them. 

So, now that I'm in my late 20s, it is a time to check in on this....

Also, this was truly a great birthday--

• I had a meeting at 8am and someone came by and brought me Starbucks coffee. 
• I went to my office and it was decorated with streamers and balloons.
• Every time I left my office and came up, something new was on my desk all from different people
• Succulent plant (my first plant)
• Candy (sour gummy worms) and chocolate
• Mountain Dew
• Multiple cards
• Handwritten puns
• A printed out pun taped to my door
• A handwritten card from an 8 year old, quoting my favorite song from "Hamilton" and a "bath bling bomb"
• A birthday hat that I wore most of the day 
• A mini cake
• Delicious dinner
• Lots of awesome things from my parents

I wrote this awhile back about birthdays--

I want to spend my twenties simply loving Jesus in the most passionate and powerful ways.

I want people to feel joy, feel loved, feel cherished, feel excited. Excited for their life, for the year, for the decade.
