Twenty-Five, and My RTW Adventure... So Far {Video}

Today, I turn 25.

To celebrate, I'm going to hang out on my mom's couch, elevate my ankle, make my very favorite tuna casserole to enjoy with my family tonight and drink beer/eat ice cream while watching The Bachelorette.

I don't need any elaborate celebrations this year. Being back home is enough for me!

A happy snap from my first night back in Seattle. You may remember this guy!

On my 23rd birthday, I wrote about how much I enjoyed wandering aimlessly around my neighborhood.

On my 24th birthday, I ran a 15K (9.3 mile) race.

Little did I know on those birthdays that I'd continue to dedicate quite a bit of time to wandering and running.

So on this birthday, I won't try to predict what'll happen in the next year or set goals to achieve before I turn 26.

I've never had such an uncertain year ahead of me, but I've also never been so content to let the possibilities bounce around in my head, and to let the next adventures unfurl as they please.

It's hard to imagine that it could be any better than this past year, but I have a feeling that, somehow, it will be.

For now, I'm just going to relax, enjoy being home with my loved ones and continue to feel oh-so-thankful that I am alive.

I'll also look back on all that I experienced in my last three months of traveling and think, "Whew! That kicked ass."

Join me? : )

P.S. At the end, I say: "Oh my God, I shouldn't have chugged that Milo." Although tasty and refreshing, I would not recommend it for cycling up large hills in Thailand!
