October 2014: Excitement and Fear

October of 2014 was an interesting month. It was scary, because everything I had worked towards for two years could have easily been taken away. But at the same time, it was exciting.

Milestones are important to me, so I put a lot of thought into my birthday week. I spent a lot of time doing different things and enjoyed some of my favorite restaurants and activities: I traveled, enjoyed time with the people I care about, and prepared for my hiking expedition to Mt. Everest […]
