Well. I am closing in on 33. 

Just a 3 more days left as a 32 year old. 

This was one unprecedented year, that is for sure!

A fair mix of good, hard, and interesting all thrown into one calendar year. 

32 will be the year I:

- lived through a pandemic

- witnessed a historic election

- saw a new president and (female!) vice president get sworn in

- moved to a new state

- started a new job

- witnessed and experienced the miracle of science 

- found my first grey hair

- and so much more! 

I never saw any of that on tap a year ago when I turned 32. So who knows was this year will bring -- I'm ready for anything...well I can do without any more grey hairs....!
