20

Since my 30th (that is hard to spit out) birthday is rapidly approaching I thought I’d recap the past decade. I don’t know why 30 is freaking me out so much. I know I won’t feel any differently.

From 20 – 21 is when I changed the most. The beginning of 20 I looked like this:

I had auburn hair, multiple piercings (including my lip), and gauged ears. I was total punk rock. I partied every weekend (not crazy party just fun party). I dated a couple jokers. I was working full time and lived with some girlfriends.

Then the middle of 20 I was set up with John. He was the most “grown up” guy I had ever dated. He was a man with a real job. We started dating and as they say the rest is history. John taught me so much about myself. He loved me as much as I loved him. I really grew up after meeting him. By my 21st birthday I was head over heals for him.

Little did I know right after our 1st New Year’s my life was going to change more than I could imagine. To be continued with 21…
