10 years have come and gone.

So this New Years is bitter sweet to me. It puts an end to an era for me, and that era would be my twenties. I turned thirty on Monday, and no I am not depressed about this at all, it has not even phased me, ok maybe it did a few moments ago when I signed into Youtube and it said "Age: 30" When did that happen??? Anyway I can still remember 2000, just turning twenty and just coming into my own. It was a wild ride:)

(New years eve circa 2000)


(Me circa 30th Birthday 2009)

This past year was a roller coaster of ups and downs.


We lost a friend.


I lost a great uncle



I made some great new friends through scrap booking as well as non scrap booking related:)

I traveled a bit more then I usually do, and got to see some great places. It has made me want to go and see even more, far beyond the states(one day)






I watched one of my very best friend's change in a good way and become a mom, it still feels strange. It feels like just yesterday we were trying to sneak into the house at 4 in the morning after a night out at the clubs.





I started to read a whole lot more, and now I feel lost as soon as I finish a book and must pick up a new one ASAP!



I became a commuter once again, and have had many a stressful days and then days where I sat next to someone interesting. I don't mind chit chatting with someone with something good to say!

I learned a lot as usual, and I know I have a lot more to learn.

I think I can pretty much go on and on if I really pick my brain. There were good times and of course not so good times but hey that's life!

I look forward to the New Year.

I look forward to what my thirties will bring me(I just hope they don't go as fast as my twenties)

I look forward to spending more time with all my new fabulous scrappy friends.






I look forward to new adventures, especially one in particular that will involve a 23 hour train ride to Florida in April with my boyfriend.



I look forward to being more creative, learning new skills, especially learning my new camera.



I look forward to reading more books.

I look forward to all that the new year has to offer.

I want to wish every single one of you a very Happy New Year!!! The best is yet to come:)

Last night I had a great fortune in my cookie at PF Chang's:) It said:
"Don't look for Happiness, create it"

Sounds good to me!!!! Blog ya next year!
