I love this picture... I look so evil! Hehehehe... But check out my lei! Thanks Mar and Melissa!
As I say good-bye to my twenties, I look back and see that: I made some not-so-smart financial decisions, I didn't date much but watched most of my friends get married and start families, I happily watched my sister get married, I made several friends... some of whom I have since lost track and then re-connected with, I've switched jobs 5 times, switched companies 3 times, moved home twice - only for short periods of time, however; I battled depression - but not alone; I watched 5 siblings head to the MTC while I sat home with no desire to serve a mission and felt guilty about it; I moved apartments/condos just about every year, I've lost friends and family to death, I've travelled around the continental U.S. a little bit, been to Hawaii twice, been to Europe once, and started a road-trip tradition to Southern California with my sisters and cousin Em (who, let's be honest, is just like my sister), watched 'internet dating' develop a lot (and even particiapted some, but with no real spectacular results - just the desire to meet someone the 'old-fashined way'), had one or two heartbreaks, went to more weddings and wedding receptions than I can count, had more roommates than I can count, bought my own car (and paid it off!), laughed, fought, loved, mourned, hated, cried, raged and relaxed.
In my thirties, I'm going to get out of debt, make better financial decisions, travel a little more (if I can), finish school, get married and start a family (I hope), buy my own house, focus on being a better member missionary, watch my youngest sister go on a mission, watch my brothers and sisters get married (HOPEFULLY), lose more friends and family to death (I'm sure), beat depression, run a half-marathon, go to more weddings and wedding receptions than I can count, continue the road-trip tradition even when we're all married, play with nieces and nephews, have more heartbreaks, meet more new friends and probably lose track of some old ones, laugh, fight, love, mourn, hate, cry, rage and relax some more.
I have ten years of '30s' and I'm going to enjoy them ALL!
Happy birthday to me! :)

Why yes, yes I have been running lately. A LOT. But I miss my running buddy!! Saturdays aren't often enough for me to be able to jog with you! And Heather, you are sweet... but you should see mt behind the wheel of a car, and you might change your mind. ;)
