Today is the first day of 2010, or as I like to call it “The Year of Ashley!” I mentioned this to my Dad today as we were sitting in the theater waiting for Avatar to start and he responded: “I thought every year was ‘The Year of Ashley!’.” Oh, Dad!
In a way he is right. I want every year to be my best year yet. Better than the year before. I like to think this year is special as I will be turning 30. Turning 30 creates a need to complete inside my head. Complete outstanding goals and lists. Because turning 30 means that I have definitely lived 1/3 of my life (and the way health problems run in my family, I might even be closer to the half-way point than I think).
But I have a month and a half before I hit the big 3-0, so lets focus on the now!
Last night I was blessed to have friends with whom I could ring in the New Year.
It was a blast to hang out with Erin and everyone else to see the ball drop in Market Square in downtown Knoxville!
Then today, it was off to the movies with the family and then running on the Greenbelt. What a great way to start 2010! Hope your start to the New Year was as great as mine.

Happy new year (of Ashley)! Turning 30 is awesome.
Weird question: is Erin from Nashville?? She looks like a girl named Erin (who has the same last name as another girl you and I both know named Erin) I met here a few months ago, but I can’t tell if it’s enough of a resemblance or not. Probably not. Just curious.

I don’t think she is. I think that her family is from somewhere up north and she went to undergrad at UT. Maybe just one of those faces!
