What Do You Call the Past Decade?

Seriously though. What do you call 2000-2010? The o's or the 0's? I am so confused.

I started thinking last night about the past decade and I couldn't believe how many milestones were accomplished.
  • Got my first car (the Altima is still alive & kickin!)
  • Graduated High School (class of 2001!)
  • Attended college at Mississippi State University on a golf scholarship (probably the most fun 4 years of my life so far) and I successfully broke 4 school records!
  • Turned 21! My friend, Ashleigh made sure we had a fun night even if it was before the SEC Championship.
  • Graduated college
  • Turned professional and played for a year and a half on the Futures Tour (toured the U.S. and basically lived out of my car~awesome experience!)
  • Met my future husband
  • Got my first big girl job (in sales at the Commercial Appeal)
  • Moved out of my parent's house into an apt on Mud Island with 2 of the best girls ever!
  • Got engaged
  • Left the CA for FedEx as an Account Executive
  • Planned a wedding & got married Feb. 16, 2008
  • Bought a house!
  • Started my MBA at the University of Memphis (graduating Aug 2010!)
  • Got another dog (who is the cutest thing ever, I may be partial though)
  • Promoted to Sales Development & Education at FedEx

Who knows what 2010-2020 will bring? Do we call this decade the 10's? This is what I envision...

  • Graduate with a MBA
  • Maybe start my PhD (that is if I get accepted!)
  • Continue working at FedEx
  • Becoming parents (CRAZY!)
  • Altima may have to be put to rest
  • Learning to cook more
  • TRAVELLING (booked a trip to Jamaica today! we will also be going to the Caribbean with friends late April and Aspen for my cousin's wedding in June)
  • Hopefully travelling to ITALY
  • Becoming stronger in faith (an everyday prayer!)
  • Moving on from 1602 wolf ridge? Who knows?
  • Turning 30! Oh no!

I am so excited for the next decade to begin, but seriously this one involved a ton of changing! It's crazy how fast it seemed to fly by.

Happy New Year!!

I probably forgot a few things, but this year has been so much fun. It seems like it has flown by. I guess that's what happens when you work full-time, go to grad school, and have a busy life?

Can you tell I don't have a lot to do today at work?

Next on the schedule-celebrating Christmas with the fam and eating a ton of goodies...
