Top Birthdays

Ok, I know that this is a little late (it is technically Saturday) but we will go ahead and count it for Friday. This is the day for the Top 10 list. I have thought about this all week and in the past couple of days in particular. Here is what I have decided. Since yesterday (the 23rd) was my birthday, I figured that I should do a list based on that. So here you go, this is my list of top 10 birthdays that I have had in the last 33.

10) 5 years old- Okay, so I don't know that there is anything about it that I just really recall as being super special, but it meant that I was now 5 and would be able to go to school the next year.

9) 13 years old- This was the first time that I had a group over to spend the night and for my birthday. This was also the first time that I actually stayed up for 24 solid hours and let my imagination run wild while outside in the dark.

8) 17 years old- For this birthday, I got to go to Cowboys game with Dad and Bryan and my uncle and cousins. Cowboys won and set a franchise record for total yards allowed in a game with 62.

7) 18 years old- This was above all else cool for no other reason than I turned 18 and was that much closer to graduating from high school.

6) 21 years old- This was my first birthday after I had finally moved off to Canyon. We tried to get mugshots done without actually getting arrested, but the Amarillo PD didn't go for it.

5) 24 years old- This one stands out for the fact that Roni went to a great deal of trouble to invite my group of friends to Abernathy for the weekend so I could celebrate with them. We had a skating party in Lubbock that year.

4) 30 years old- Again, Roni went to the trouble of contacting friends and family and having them send me cards and such. It was a good birthday.

3) 16 years old- You had to know that this was going to be close to number one. I mean after all, this is when you get to legally drive.

2) 23 years old- This was the year that I got married. Even though it wasn't on the day, it was just a couple of months later that Roni became my wife. I was engaged on this birthday.

1) The day I was born- Hey without this one, there wouldn't even be a list to consider.

So there it is. The top 10 birthdays that I can think of. Peace and Love y'all.
