26

Today is my 26th birthday, and I’m officially on the downhill side to 30. This past year has been quite a whirlwind. For my 25th, we had been in Georgia for 3 months and were already waiting on a new set of orders. At 26, we’re still waiting on orders. Birthdays during deployment are inherently less fun, but here’s hoping to the adventure of moving (for the 3rd time in 18 months) and settling in another new home. I’m excited to celebrate my birthday in Blacksburg this weekend with some of my best friends.
