30+1

Crazy to think that is has been 10 years since I turned 21.  I celebrated my 21st birthday my first summer lifeguarding at the beach, the same summer I met Brian.  I was a wild child, a free bird. A Kentucky girl with unbridled spirit and if I squint really hard in the mirror, sometimes I can still see traces of that girl. A lot has happened since then, I wish I had recorded it, maybe then I could refect back and find that moment when I grew up. 

I had a wonderful birthday.  My co-workers (I hate calling them that, they really are much more than just other workers that (co)exist in the office with me, they are my friends.) Anyways my co-friends, (that's better) went all out and decorated my desk, hawaiian style, and made me a delicious pineapple upside down cake, then I was seranaded with the a wonderful version of the  happy birthday song, leaving my face a lovely shade of bright red...oh birthdays they are good at that!

I work with amazing people.  They inspire me each and everyday.  I am so lucky to work in such a supportive, fun, creative atmasphere.  I have honestly never had a job that I didn't love, but this one, this one is special.  My dad told me once, "you create your own luck."  I had never thought about it that way, but I think he is right.  I have had a lot of luck in my life, but maybe it wasn't really luck at all, maybe it was hard work paying off, or just a side effect of putting myself in or near situations, people, and enviroments that I want to be apart of.  Whatever it is, luck, hard work, right time, right place, I am happy with who I am and where I am.
