My Later Years in Review (READ: Makes You Contemplate, Hopefully)

Okay, I know. I make it sound like I'm 70 or something. I know I'm not really old. I'm only 24, but I feel like the years are all of a sudden finding the fast forward button. I guess it's because I have things to gauge time with. This year I'm coming up on my 3rd wedding anniversary and my son is over 1. It just makes me think: What have I done with these last few years (particularly my 20's) that make it seem so fast? Maybe it's because I've had so many big, life impacting events in the last couple of years. So I wrote out a list to see the big events in my life recently.

-graduated high school
-moved out of my parents' house to a different state (beautiful Colorado)
-went to college

-Truthfully, I had SO much fun this year that I ended up suffering in school. Oops. But, I'd NEVER take back those opportunities and memories.
