Dear 22,

as i say goodbye to you in a few hours i can't help but think back on this year. i can say without a doubt, this has been the best year of my life (so far). there are many things i am appreciative for:

1. i got married while i was 22.
2. i got a new and amazing job while i was 22
3. i got a new apartment while i was 22
4. i got a new car while i was 22
5. i've made some new & amazing friends while i was 22
6. i've learned so much about myself and who i want to be while i was 22
7. i learned to sew while i was 22
8. i learned to bake while i was 22
9. i learned to drive in the snow without having an anxiety attack everytime while i was 22
10. i cut my hair way too short while i was 22 and learned to never ever do it again :)

...i had an AMAZING 22nd birthday last year. full of love & laughs with great people. i would only be so lucky if 23 started and ended just as great.

BRING IT ON 23! I'M READY FOR YOU!
