A new decade...

Today is my birthday.  Not just any birthday, it is my 30th birthday.  I would be lying if I said that I wasn't a bit freaked out about the Big 3-0.  I had gotten used to being in my 20's and I am not all that sure that I am ready to move on to the next ten years.  I mean, my 20's were FULL of amazing accomplishments, memories, laughs, celebrations...

A celebration in Vegas for my 21st birthday...

A new little sister dog for Baxter...

I became an Auntie to the most beautiful little soul...

not once, but TWICE...

I became a Godmother...

I gained sisters (sorority, that is)...

I lived in New York City...

I graduated from college with two degrees...

I traveled the world...

I agreed to marry my best friend...

We sold and bought a house...

I married my best friend and made a lifelong commitment...

We celebrated, partied, reminisced and laughed every chance we got...

I added to my accomplishments in my career...

And together, with Mike, I made the scariest, most rewarding decision I will ever make...

We started a family...

So, it is with all of these amazing memories that I bid adieu to my fabulous 20's and, with the slightest bit of apprehension, I open my eyes, my arms and my heart wide and welcome my 30's and all that is ahead!
