What I did in my Twenties

Well, I'm turning 30 this year (not until November), but I thought I would make a list of all the things I got to do in my 20's so that I can remember how blessed I am and how much fun I had.  And that 10 years is a LONG time.  Hoping for another good decade in my 30's!! 

Here goes the list:

• Interned at Dell in Austin, fell in love with Austin, really had to move there, went back to school and figured out how to graduate early (3.5 yrs)
• Graduated from LSU, moved to Austin, started at Dell
• Traveled on Dell's dime to: Panama City, Panama the beach and an island, Toronto, Edmonton, Nashville, KY, OKC, Limerick, Bracknell, London, Paris, South of France, Madrid, Barcelona, Bratislava (via Vienna), Amsterdam, Brussels and various locations in California
• Bought a condo in Austin and had the best roommate ever, Danielle!
• Coached a junior high soccer team for 3 years, so much fun, and I still keep in touch with a few of the girls.  Played on a few soccer teams.
• Went to the Cape Cod family reunion 4 or 5 times? and had a blast each time!  Such a great place for family reunions!
• Camping, cliff jumping, hiking, water skiing, wakeboarding, boating, Hamilton Pool and party barges in Austin
• Justin (brother)'s Wedding in LA, Tamara's wedding in LA, Kathy's wedding in Mobile, Jenn's wedding, Liza's wedding in LA, Reno's Wedding in TX, Lee and Judy's wedding, Lizzy's wedding, another Jenn's wedding in TX, Fran's wedding in NYC, Todd's wedding in St. Louis, Amanda's wedding in St. Louis
• 2 neices were born and have grown up into adorable little girls - Abigail and Emily.  And of course Sam (other brother) met Amber and got engaged.
• Bought Spice my 4 runner.  She's trusty, she's cute, she is not 4 wheel drive. :(
• Went to some awesome Charity Gala's with Elexis and Lyle - saw a variety of celebrities, most of which I didn't recognize.  But I did meet Dennis Quaid and Al from Home Improvement.  And that black guy from the Aflac commercials. haha.
• Dated some great guys, some not so great, got married the first time, quickly realized my mistake and got divorced.
• Met up and traveled with Sanaz in a variety of locations - most notably NYC right after college, then a million times in Austin, Louisiana and once in Denver and once in Cape Cod
• Went mountain biking, trail running, ran a few 10Ks, worked out, didn't work out, worked out again (vicious cycle)
• Met the love of my life and MARRIED him (Brendan) on Cape Cod!  Changed my name again, for the last time...so I'm Sarah Healey!
• Went to Hawaii 3 times!!  Rocky Point Mexico beach vacation. South Padre Island twice. Cabo!!  Other beach vacations? 
• Took A LOT of pictures.  Played model on kind of a lot of occasions. So fun!! 
• Solitified the Hippo as my favorite animal for life
• Adopted our PUPPY Andy!!!!  And love him to pieces.

• Bought a house in Denver (ok I haven't done this yet...but I'm hopefully going to before i'm 30)

Ok it's actually a little strange to sum up 10 years in 25 bullet points.  But ...i mean, it's a LOT of stuff.  This is a lot to be thankful for right here!!  <pause to be thankful>  Now for the next 10 years....let's rock this!!!
