Some of my favorite games we've played include "How many years until your 10-year high school reunion?" and "When you were in 6th grade...." (answers include "I was looking at colleges" and "I was jamming out to N*SYNC while I got ready for prom").
While these guys are worried about their last year of college, I'm busy making lesson plans and rearranging my classroom on post-its. As a high school teacher, most of them are closer to the age of my students than to me. And I love it. They have so much energy, they make me feel like I'm twenty again, and they remind me of all the big dreams and aspirations I had in my early 20s.
Don't get me wrong. I've accomplished a lot, and I'm proud of where I've ended up. I love my job, my church, the apartment I just moved into....I have a beautiful chocolate lab, Evie, that I adore. But I absolutely want to make sure that I make the most of these last few years before I hit the big 3-0.
I don't have some "bucket list" made up, but there are a few things I want to do:
- Become debt-free.
- Travel--at the very least, another trip to NYC.
- Expand my cooking knowledge.
- Learn to sew.
- Go on awesome adventures and tell you about them.
So here we go. You get to follow me on the last 3 (technically 2.5) years of my twenties. I promise to make it fun!
