happy frickin Birthday

Well its official I'm in my last year of my 20's! I look back 10 years and think about how far I have come.......its unreal!
Lets wander down this section of highway in my life, shall we ...

after a rough and tumble freshmen year of college with many firsts, first time being away from home, first one in the immediate family to "go away" to college, Lost something very close at heart, first time trying pot, failing a class, lets make that classes, came home for summer, had my first and only shoplifting adventure (turned out much worse than I had anticipated) went back to NC for round 2, this year was much better!

19 (1998) I finally realized that I needed to improve my image If I ever wanted averyniceguy to pay attention to me. So I went from wearing PJ's to class everyday to short skirts that I had to borrow from my friends! (It paid off as only a short skirt can!) In case you were a little fearful of the mental image I was a size 8 then.

20 (1999) Rockin steady balancing classes, softball, a steady man, partying, insane friends That did the best partying! To many great memories this year to recount all of them!

21 (2000) Senior year of college, softball finished up! (and nontosoon, talk about burn out, still haven't picked up a glove since that last day!

22 (2001) Student teaching, 9/11, passed out in front of Brian's mom, ended up needing a pace maker

23 (2002) got my pacemaker put in, got my first job, moved 3 hours away from Brian, (that sucked), had my first place (that was cool, to bad I didn't know anyone in the area to make it that much better) Brian realized that his arrangement sucked too! got engaged!

24 (2003) Got married moved back to where Brian was, got new job

25 (2004) got pregnant

26 (2005) Quit job, to stay home with baby! (that was so worth it) oops got pregnant again!

27 (2006) Gave birth to little man Cameron! Moved back to the place of my birth after being gone nearly 10 years... Stressful, straining time on the marriage and all, but we worked through it and ended up:

28 (2007) pregnant again! (2008) moved AGAIN!

29 (2008) I'm sitting in whatusedtobe my bedroom typing on my moms computer completely oblivious to what my 3 angels are doing in the living room! how time flies and the memories flood back! I have had a lot of happy memories over the past 10 years a couple fuzzy blurry time this I/we could forget, but mostly this has been a great ride so far! and I am very excite to think about that the next 10 years will bring! Hayden will be 13, Cameron 12, bailey 11!

I could embellish in any of these year but, I don't like this key board, so as you read leave a comment if there is any year you would like me to describe further! I'll do so when I get home on my computer!

I can think of a few more good times during the 2nd year of college for ya! It sucks getting old.

I spent my entire 29th year dreading my 30th birthday so much that when it got there, I felt like I had been thirty for years. So just try to enjoy this last year in your twenties!

You should get a slip in the mail that explains how to be in your twenties. You're in your early twenties till you feel like you want people to think of you as an adult more than they think of you as a kid. Suggested range: 24 to 27. Then you're in your mid twenties till you're twenty-nine and a half, then you're in your late twenties while people decide what to buy you when you're thirty. Easy.

P.S. Happy frickin Birthday. For your birthday I am declaring that you are my cousin and shall evermore be referred to as such. Welcome to the Fam.

Tracy: You would be that insane freind that I share so many drunken, I mean fuzzy memories with!

Julie: I will definately try to fullfil my 29th year the best I can, heck I had a drink tonight when we were out to eat! 1st real drink in, oh I don't know, at least 2 years! Long Island Ice tea! It was great and Now the screen is a littel blury!

Mr: I didn't get my slip explaining my 20's who do I contact to file a complaint about that? Someone should seriously address this situation, along with the wicked headache I am going to have in the a.m., after my 1, very good, LI ice tea!
