The Big 2-6

In one week I will be turning 26, and I’m starting to feel OLD , I mean older. As I reflect on the frustrations, joys, and blessings of the past year it’s time for me to update my bucket list. I accomplished many of the personal goals I set for 25:

I paid off all my debt and student loans
I’m financially stable
I finally got my driver’s license!

As I begin an amazing journey in the Air Force I’ve decided to include some professional goals for the upcoming year.
