I turned 29 a couple of weeks ago. I’m the youngest in my family so it wasn’t lost on anyone that I’m the last one of us to be in the last year of their 20’s. I’m definitely a cliché when it comes to the fact that I’m not where I imagined I would be at almost 30. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. God was much more creative with the plan for my life than I was when thinking of my future. I definitely thought I’d be married by now, probably with a couple of kids. Instead, I live in LA, have a diverse and full career in the entertainment industry, and am thinking of what my next moves are for the next 5 years. Very different. So while I don’t see a man or kids in my next year obviously, there are some things I’d like to do as I close out this beautiful, crazy, wild, chapter. So I made a list. 30 things to check off the list before I turn 30 to celebrate my 20’s and all I’ve been through. Because if my 20’s don’t deserve a year-long celebration, I don’t know what does!
