Bring it on...

o.k. I AM READY.

my 20's have not all been bad, but i am ready to start with a fresh "0".

i only have about another 2 1/2 hours to be 29 years old. and i'm spending it doing what i seem to do well...baking and decorating cakes. go figure!

but really.....i was talking with a patient the other day and we discussed the "numbers" of my 20's. you know.....how many of this and how many of that. so i thought i would share some with you!

2 - number of times i was engaged

(if you don't know about this, we'll have to talk later)

2 - number of apartments i lived in

2 - number of houses that i/we have owned

2 - college degrees that i obtained
(a.a. and b.s. degrees in dental hygiene)

3 - cruises that i have been on

6 - cars that i have had
(this blew my mind, too. another one that will have it's own post for an explanation)

1 - wedding

6 - years that i have been married

1 - pregnancy (resulting in my sweet mary peyton)

3 - different offices that i have worked at in my 20's

countless - hours spent at barnes & noble drinking coffee & looking at magazines

numerous - football & basketball games attended

from this list, some of the following comes. i also did a "run down" of pros/cons from my 20's.

pros:

~graduated from college

~passed national and state board exams

~got married

~had mary peyton

cons:

~breakup of an engagement

(even though it did end up being so much more for the better and we are still friends....at the time it was devastating)

~mam-maw passed away

~grandaddy passed away

~billy passed away

~my parents divorced

the more i think about this list, the more things that i think of that i could add to it. but i am so grateful for the 30 years that i have had and am ready for tomorrow!!!

as mary peyton would sing it,
"HACKLE BIRDAY TO DU"
