30 Is the New...30!

I think I'll take a moment, celebrate my age
The ending of an era and the turning of a page

Now it's time to focus in on where I go from here

Lord have mercy on my next thirty years


In my next thirty years I'm gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things I've done

Maybe now I've conquered all my adolescent fears

And I'll do it better in my next thirty years*

I just turned thirty, and I couldn't be happier about what I've accomplished to this point or more excited about what is ahead of me!

Among the achievements I am most proud of in these first three decades are:

Graduating from the University of Florida
Taking a chance and moving to Austin on my own
Earning a Masters degree from the University of Texas
Buying a house
Working for the Lance Armstrong Foundation
Running the New York City Marathon
Raising thousands of dollars for charity
Being a loyal friend
Being a loving daughter, sister, and aunt (and mother to Bailey!)
Enjoying life to the fullest

Watch out world, this girl is just getting started!



*Please note that I left out the part of the song that mentions drinking 'not so many beers' as I refuse to make any guarantees in that department.
