27 to 28 - Not getting younger!

A few days ago, I had turned 28. Once again, another year goes by and I am not getting any younger. However, the year 27 was an exceptional year for me. I had done more things at the age of 27 than I had ever done before. The only age I can remember of doing a lot within a year's time is when I turned 18. 18 was a good year. That was the year I had graduated high school, got my driver's license, and attended Modesto Jr. College for the first time. To me it was a pretty big year.
I feel age 27 had matched it. This was the year I finally got my life together so I can become more of an independant person. I had joined the Brethren Volunteer Service and moved out of Waterford. The only thing bigger than that to me would be getting married and having kids, which at this point of my life is not going to happen because I am enjoying MY life to much right now. During BVS, I had met a lot of great people, seen a lot of different things, been to a few places, and took advantage of most of the opportunities that floated my way. I can not complain on how my age 27 turned out.
Now I am 28 and I plan on continuing that same momentum into this year. It already started off with a bang. My favorite basketball player right now had been named MVP of the league for the first time in his year. Kobe led the Lakers to the #1 seed in the West. Love it. Then my Mom is coming out this month. I have been looking forward to that for some time now. We are going to be doing some things that are going to be cool. Sometime in the next two months, I plan on going to a summer camp and volunteering for a week as a camp councilor. I can't wait for that. My 28th year is going to be great. I don't know if it will match 27 but it is heading for a positive direction.
