It is hard to believe that I am THIRTY years old. It seems like just yesterday when I thought 30 was the epitome of being old. Ha! My how things change. As I look back on my first 30 years, I realized just how much I have accomplished. I actually managed to survive high school, graduated from college with a BS in Political Science, graduated again with my Masters degree, became a teacher, met my hubby, got engaged, married him, remodeled an entire home, left the classroom to take a position at ECU, and had a sweet baby girl. And that is just the big stuff!!! I've had quite a fulfilling first 30 years and I wouldn't do a single thing differently (well... maybe a few!).
Many people helped to celebrate this special occasion- it started with an awesomely decorated office. My co-workers got me good! :) They also treated me to a fabulous lunch at my favorite spot- Atavola!
At home, Jeremy and sweet Margo picked up my favorite dinner and had a few gifts for me (I love gifts!!). The most thoughtful gift was a beautiful orchid that Margo gave me for my office. I love how it reminds me of her when I look at it. :)
I was also treated to lunch by my mom and step-dad and to a delicious home-cooked meal of fried chicken and homemade biscuits by Dad and Debra. Jeremy's parents even joined us for a cook-out to celebrate the occasion. :)
Needless to say, it has been a wonderful celebration of the first 30 years of my life. I am excited about the endless possibilities of my next 30 years!
