This blog post continues my Thirty Things series and details my five greatest accomplishments. This post closely resembles the one where I detailed the most important things in my life…but to be honest that sort of makes sense because the most important things in life usually reflect one’s accomplishments (in my humble opinion). 1.

I would like to preface this blog post with a comment that reminds everyone that I have officially made the transition from enthusiastic child to jaded adult. This became clear this past Victoria Day weekend…you have been warned. So I completely understand that fireworks are magical and exciting for some…I remember as a kid my […]
