Yesterday was my Birthday, and I meant to post this yesterday but that didn't happen because I was too busy living life. I am no officially in the last year of my 3o's and next year I will begin a new decade. Am I sad... a little but not enough to let it ever get me down. So many things have happened over the last 39 year to shape me in to the person I am today and I am sure so many more things will happen in the years to come. I look forward to all the new experiences and all the events that will continue to shape my life.
Here is just a little look back on what was happening the year I was born.
