27 Things

I recently celebrated my 28th birthday on December 1st, 2008. People are often surprised when they discover I am as old as I am(not that 28 is old) because I often have the energy of someone who is closer to 18. So as I was looking back(and looking ahead) I have come up with a list of 27 things I’ve was blessed with this past year, 2008. (in no part order)
