31 Honest Things you Might Not Know about Me

Today I really entered my 30’s! Yes, I know I just spent the whole last year at the age of 30 but since it was tailgating my 29th birthday, I felt a little bit better about it.

So, I’m celebrating my 31st birthday and although I still feel like I’m 20 in my mind, if I ever have to fill anything out like this, I’ll have to check this box now… holy moly I’m 31!

In the past I’ve shared 30 things before I wanted to accomplish before I turned 30 (which I did get most of them done, some will wait for the 40 before 40 I suppose)  and last year, one my hardest years yet, I didn’t really have any room for 31 things to accomplish so I thought I’d share 31 things you might not know about me!
