Day in the Life on The World Race // Birthday Edition // Rwanda

danasalesman.t...
A birthday on the race, requires more than a thank you post or some photos, it requires just a little bit more than that. So here it goes.
The night before my birthday, I remember standing in the kitchen talking to one of my best friends Noons (Morgan). She asked me if I was excited for my birthday tomorrow... and my honest response was no.
Maybe it is the denial that I am turning 28, because I can not actually believe it. How did that little girl from Northern Michigan who once dreamed of being married and having two kids by this age instead be in Rwanda turning 28? It is insanity to reflect back on the previous perspectives that I held hard too. I mean, instead of 2 kids and a white picket fence, I have seven months of abroad living under my belt, two bachelors degrees, leadership experience, two years as a PICU RN, and... a lot of LIFE. I still cannot comprehend it some days, utter denial.
The expectations are what get me sometimes... (click link for full blog).
