welcome 3.0.
top ten memories that stand out from the past 30 years (in no particular order):
1. my 16th birthday party. [rollerskating, sleep-over, and all that good stuff.]
2. birthing my children. [the thrill and excitement of meeting them for the first time is unbeatable.]
3. being overly-eager to work early mornings at the coffee shop with this cute guy i had a crush on (which turned out to be my future husband. ha. it worked out, didn't it?). [espresso shots, upturned aprons, white, white legs-not mine, his...punch-drunk and running on caffeine and minimal sleep. we put on a good show for the customers.]
4. my wedding day. [gray, rainy seattle wedding. in august. perfect. and lots of other fun memories...it may require its own top ten!]
5. high school prom. [you can say what you want, but i had a great time on both my junior and senior year proms. but i don't recommend doing a 12K the day after.]
6. astrid's head getting stuck in between the bars of a gate at the cengkareng airport when we were little. [guess her curiosity got the best of her. sorry, sis...i had to put this one in. it's kinda funny.]
7. helping both my sisters from drowning in the pool (2 separate occasions) after falling in accidentally.
8. astrid being taken to the hospital when she was 5 (?) after she fell and hit her chin on the marble floor-stitches were required. [i remember being terribly upset and crying because she was upset and crying.]
9. the first day he said "i love you." [my stomach did flips and i was on cloud 9 (i suppose i still am).]
10. that crazy metallica concert that i wanted to go to in 7th grade but never did. [broken windows (including ours...i have a scar to prove it :) ), burned cars on the street...i guess some people that couldn't go didn't handle it too well.]

Happy Birthday, Prasti!!
Wow, I finally got to read this post three months later.
Re #5: I actually would recommend doing a 12k the day after prom, only because it's a good cure for a hangover (only if you walk the 12k, of course)
I like that I'm in #6, #7, and #8. I feel so special.
I do remember #10 quite vividly. At least you did eventually get to see Metallica in concert, right?
Happy belated birthday, Prasti!
