Musing of 27

I have now been 28 for a few days. The best comment people can say is, "WoW gettin' close to thirty?! Aren't you old?" UGH! I am excited for 30, bring it on! But, I degress or is it digress??
ANYWHOO, 27. What a fabulous year. Just like wine, vodka and a lot of other expensive things I get better with age. I would never want to be 21 again. I'm glad I made some big mistakes when I did, when it didn't matter as much and so much wasn't on the line.
At 27 the following things happened -
1. The hardest thing. I spent the first full year of my life without my
grandpa, that sucked, it was hard and I still miss him.
2. I was accepted in a PhD program and I refused a PhD program
3. I started my career and it has been the best decision I could have made! I
love it AND I am good at it :) 4 transaction in one week (my personal best,
I hope to repeat it often)
4. I have found my core group of friends and strengthened my outer (live to
far away) group as well.
5. I have found me. I have found my inner FABULOUSNESS, my inner DIVA,my
inner CRAZY CRAZY Girl, and I have not had to compromise that at all.
6. I have fell more madly and more deeply in love with Bert. This past year
solidified my decision that he can either marry me or be locked in a
basement :)
7. I had a great year, too much fun, too much wine, too much excess but I
think I kept myself in check enough to allow karma to be kind.
8. We bought a house - and a super cute wonderful house at that!
9. We adopted a dog - and a super cute wonderful hot mess he is :)
10. I grew up just enough to realize how lucky I have been, how blessed my life is and how thankful I am that my parents still like me!!

I am looking forward to more years of being wonderful. Hopefully next year I am closer to being married ;)
