My Week In Review - When I turned 25

This week was pretty significant for me. My 25th birthday happened! 

Birthdays in general are something I always look forward to and get excited about, but this one, I will be honest I was rather apprehensive about. 

25 to me is a much bigger deal, now that I've reached it than, 18 or 21 ever was. 25 is 5 years away from being 30. A quarter century. 25 is heading out of the young 20 something and into the more adult years. Something I feel very aware of especially within this past year. To be completely honest, I lived 24, at least the last half of it with this big 2 5 looming over it and worrying and freaking out a bit. Now that I'm here I have no idea why. Its not as if I suddenly feel different. But there does seem to be a growing awareness that has been happening within this last year that while I am definitely and unarguably still very young and have my whole life ahead of me, I am also heading into those years of more independence, more responsibility, and hopefully some growth and maturity as well. 

Needless to say, it was a great week. One that really didn't worry to much about the day until it arrived, yesterday to be exact on the 26th of January when suddenly I wasn't 24 anymore. I have to say I am delighted, excited and full of expectation about the year to come. 2013 has been a great year for me so far and I expect 25 to hold bigger and better both in challenge and in accomplishment.

Ok, so what I did this week included
Going to see Alpacas! See more HERE!
