Deuces, 22!

I have 6 minutes left until I turn 23, and I thought to myself "Self, let's think about what we've accomplished this year!"  It's been a pretty big year, and here, in no particular order, are 22 highlights from my 22nd year of life:

1. Graduating from Saint Mary's College with a degree in Music Education and a minor in French.  Once a Belle, always a Belle.
2. Travelling to Strasbourg, the land of my forefathers, with my younger sister.
3. Re-discovering my favorite cheese in France, chaource.
4. Meeting my German roommate, Natalie, who I can confidently say will remain a lifelong friend.
5. Landing my first job.
6. Moving to France.
7. Paying rent for the first time.
8. Finding my favorite French grocery store.
9. Living in Florida for a summer, and working with a musician that embodies everything I want to be as a music educator/minister/mentor for others.  
10. Spending two weeks traveling France with my college roommate, Bailey.
11. Having another college roommate, Ali, and our friend, Mike, stay in my apartment and eat more food and drink more wine than I thought humanly possible.
12. Creating the hashtag #DailyChin that is surely going to be the hottest trend on the block.
13. Becoming an aunt and godmother...again!! 
14. Being trusted by some of my best friends to serve them as the director of Bellacappella.
15. Putting on a pretty kick-booty concert, and then walking away from Bella and seeing new leadership keep up the tradition of excellence.
16. Discovering just how delicious a meal of galettes and crêpes can truly be.
17. Packing 7 months worth of life into one checked bag.
18. Landing my second job.
19. Just being a part of my family's lives, in whatever form that may take!
20. Seeing the TARDIS in London.
21. Having a baguette duel under the Eiffel Tower with my sister, Juliana.
22. Realizing that no matter where you are in the world, you can be you and spread goodness and smiles.

Much love to all, and happy birthday to me!
