Good Bye Twenties

Ahhh Twenties you were good to me.

One great thing about being born at the beginning of a year it is easier to keep track of what year I was what age.

2003 - Age 20 - Gave up my virginity. That sounds so strange. Maybe growing up in a Christian home makes it sound so bad. But I have no regrets about deciding to become sexually active. Discovered I could do something other than what was expected and moved away from everyone I knew and survived.
2004 - Age 21 - Got my first tattoo. Could buy my own drinks. Learned how to drive in the snow and ice. Got to know Boston quite well. Really enjoyed being there.
2005 - Age 22 - Quit smoking cigarettes. I started my sophomore year in HS. Not much until I got to New England where in the cold smoking would also warm you from the inside.
2006 - Age 23 - Fell deep in love which led to a shattered heart then led to to much drinking and smoking the wacky weed. This made me kinda slack off and have to redo classes so I graduated later than needed. DAMN Tafari.
2007 - Age 24 - Graduated with my BS in Social Work. Got my second tattoo. Worked for Special Needs School.
2008 - Age 25 - Gavin entered my world. Started dating Jefferson.
2009 - Age 26 - Married Jefferson.
2010 - Age 27 - Moved to Florida. So happy to be away from the harsh winters of the north. Miss the fall but the beach makes up for it.
2011 - Age 28 - Discovered I am happier being a stay at home mom than a working mom.
2012 - Age 29 - Made many memories with my family. Missing my girlfriends. This past year I have really gotten to look at my life and decide what is important. I have come to terms with the things I cant fix. I have decided that regrets mean nothing. I take my life and will learn from it.

2013 - Age 30 - I don't know what is in store for me. But I am getting ready. I will shed a few tears. I will yell some profanity. I will be impossible to be around for a while. But I will be a stronger woman. I will be the mom I want to be. I will satisfy my husband, mentally, spiritually and most of all sexually.

So here is to a new year.
