THE BIG 4-0

This month I will be turning 40 (April 18th to be exact so you still have time to buy me a gift). In honor of this momentous occasion, I have decided to enter the blog-o-sphere. I am looking forward to the next chapter of my life and what exciting things are in store....some of which I will be posting here.

So...as I say farewell to my 30's, here are some of the highlights of the past decade:

• Going to Disney World for the first time (and 2 other times since then)...It really is The Happiest Place on Earth
• Marrying Mark...the most kind and wonderful husband a girl could ask for
• Buying my first house (and second house with Mark)
• Trips to NYC, Vermont, DC, Tennessee, Colorado, Pennsylvania and other exciting places
• HDTV (this may be the best invention ever...although my excitement over this may be the fact that we just purchased one and it is AWESOME!)
• Losing 90 pounds (we ignore the fact that about 50 lbs of that is back thanks to wedded bliss and pregnancy...hoping the 40's see the loss of those 50 lbs)
• LIVING STONES CHURCH
• Getting completely out of debt
• The arrival of my beautiful baby girl, Anna Mikaela Osterhout

So 30's, it's been a great decade, but I must bid you adieu! To the 40's, I say "BRING IT!!"
