Goodbye 20s

Today is the very last day of my 20s. Some people are cautious wishing me a happy 30th - I think its because for some people, turning 30 (or 40, 50, etc) can be a traumatic experience! For me, it's the start of an exciting life ahead! For these last few hours that I have left, let me reflect on the highlights of 1998-2008:
  • I graduated from college
  • I got my first "real" job
  • I traveled to England, Costa Rica, Mexico (several times), and all across our beautiful country
  • I saw Old Faithful/Yellowstone, the Golden Gate Bridge, Mayan Ruins, the Grand Canyon, Big Ben, Graceland, the Oklahoma City Memorial, Yosemite, and other landmarks
  • I followed my lifelong dream of learning to fly
  • I moved all alone across the country to this crazy state of AZ to pursue my flying dreams
  • I drove across the U.S.A. 3 times via 3 different routes (by myself twice!)
  • I lived by myself for the first time
  • I met some of the best friends I could ever hope for
  • I fell in love
  • I married the love of my life
Not too bad if I do say so myself, not too bad at all!! So 30s, watch out, here I come!!

Hello 30 year old Amie!
I must add we are all so pleased with how well and with grace you glide ( no pun intended ) through life. Happiest of birthdays to you my sweetheart. Mine was fabulous and thank you for the nice card sent especially to me from the Davis's.
I hope you know how special you are to all who love you!

My 20's had so much more drama! Well, at least my early 20's did!

Anyway, you certainly have done a lot! Admirable!

Miss you.

Welcome to your 30's - I predict having babies, toddlers and elemenary school children will be be the biggest journey(s) of your 30's!!

Ok I'm a terrible brother in law for not CALLING or SENDING YOU A CARD or ANYTHING for your birthday.

but, happy late birthday and hope your 30's are even more awesome than your 20's.
