This little girl will be turning 30 tomorrow. It's hard to believe that I have been living my life for three decades now! In memory of my first 30 years, I think of all the things I have done and accomplished in my life this far: I've travelled through Italy for a month to study art, been to see a Cirque show in Las Vegas, ran a half-marathon through Napa Valley, seen the sites of San Francisco and tasted the wine of California, raised $4000 and counting for the CCFA, seen the mountains of Tennessee, the beaches of Florida and the golf, the open plains of Montana, cruised through the Caribbean and Bahamas twice while eating lobster instead of turkey for Thanksgiving, celebrated the wedding of a brother and toasted marriage at three weddings, danced in a national championship and through the Indy 500 parade, graduated college with a BFA, visited Disney World as a child and an adult, spoken as the president at my high school graduation, toured Ernest Hemingway's home in Key West, admired the view of Chicago from the Sears Tower, hosted my own gallery show, left home to live on my own in Atlanta for seven years and then moved back to my roots in Indiana this year. Whew!
I also am compiling a list of 30 things to do while in my 30's to get me through this next (and I've heard, the best) ten years of my enriched life! The list will be coming next month, still busy gathering my hopes and dreams for the next phase of my life. Now, off to one of my favorite cities to celebrate this weekend with Charley! Bring on Chi-town tomorrow!
