Hello to the big 3-0

Well the twenties have now come and gone for me. I must say it was by far the greatest decade I have lived, so far. I mean who really remembers much from 0-10 years of age and your tween/teenage years are just way too awkward to be the best ever. My twenties were filled with great memories and sad moments (the loss of both of my grandmothers) but all in all it was fabulous. I decided I wanted to highlight the most memorable things that happened in my past decade.
