Birthday Musings

Today is my Birthday...I am *gasp* 29! I certainly don't feel 29 - I feel more like 22. I realized that 10 years ago, yes 10, I was halfway done with my first year of nursing school..CRAZY!

I actually don't have a whole lot to say. Not much I can do about getting a year older, nor would I really change it and try to stay young forever. Aging is a normal and healthy part of life.

On a fun note..I get a card from my insurance agent every year that has the highlights from the year you were born. I got a kick out of some of them and decided to share them with you.

In 1980:

-The US boycotted the Olympics in Moscow to protest the invasion of Afghanistan.
- Mt St Helens erupted
- John Lennon was killed
- The top movie was The Empire Strikes Back (perfect, don't you think)
- A gallon of gas cost $1.19
- Bread cost $0.51
- A gallon of milk cost $2.08
- First class stamp cost $0.15

2009 Goals

I'm not a big fan of resolutions, but I like having goals. Here are my goals for 2009....

1) Live a more healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, stress reduction)
2) Get out of debt (specifically credit card debt, but my student loan is in here too)
3) Read through the Bible
4) Keep my house clean
5) Live a more organized, simple life

That pretty much it...although there is a number 6, but its a bit more out of my control...

FIND A MAN!!!!!!!

Seriously....if you want to set me up with a nice Christian man, you are more than welcome to do so! Permission has been given!
