Don’t get me wrong, I love having the excuse to go out and celebrate with family. In fact, this year my husband and I are going to Chicago for the weekend. But it’s kind of sad to realize another year has passed, you know? I tend to forget my birthday is even coming up until someone else reminds me and then I struggle internally about whether or not I even want to celebrate it. I mean, all it does is mark another year that I haven’t reached certain goals, and that makes me feel like shit.
This year I have the best husband and partner I could have ever wished for. And I’ve got other big things happening behind-the-scenes in work and in my personal life! So even though I’ve not met all of my goals (and even though my blogging has fallen a little on the wayside recently), I’m really excited to see what 27 brings me.
Since we are headed to Chicago this weekend to celebrate, I asked my travel agent friend and fellow blogger, Sarah Key from The Keys To Travel, for some suggestions. Here’s her list of 27 places to check out in Chicago:
