I turn 30 next month. My 20's were quite an adventure that I don't have the emotional need to ever experience again. I went to college, got married, went to grad school, moved across the country twice, had to 2 babies, experience the death of my father-in-law, and bought a house. I want to take the time to reflect on 20 year old me and then keep focusing on staying present and living in hope for my 30's.

Lived and breathed Photography
Embraced the vegetarian lifestyle wholeheartedly
Drove a 1995 Honda Civic
Hung out Broadway Cafe like it was going out of style
Favorite Bands: Radiohead and Tori Amos

Nearly 30 Year Old Me:
Favorite Book: Daring Greatly

I love how yoga, photography, a place to grow in my faith, good coffee places, and Luke have remained present in my life while my wanderlust and emotional boundaries, like wine, have improved with age.
