We haven't had a wedding in our family for almost 10 years. This is a little strange because our brothers are not much older than we are and girls typically get married before boys. Some might wonder what we've been up to for the past 10 years. Well...wonder no longer my friends:
Kate got her braces off.
2 high school diplomas.
2 Bachelors degrees.
Moved 15 times.
Been through 5 cars.
Kissed the same dude.
Kate pulled a tag team.
Got into karaoke.
Broke a collar bone.
Didn't go on missions (sorry Ma).
Thought about grad schools.
Got real jobs.
Started a T-shirt business.
Met a bunch of Jazz players.
Mastered trampolines and rollerblades.
Watched every TV series twice.
Drank 1 ton of soda.
Becca almost got married.
Kate bought 2 birds.
Becca bought a bunny and returned it.
Bought another bunny 6 months later.
Did 1,000 pogos.
Traveled a ton.
Becca got a mullet for college graduation.
Kate discovered she was more of a choreographer than a dancer.
Talked a student out of gauging his ears.
Had a pretty bad Razor scooter accident.
Won a tennis tournament in the 'best of the worst' category.
Spent a whole year trying to keep the Titanic from sinking.
Got really into fake tattoos.
Got really close to finding a cure for the common cold.
Got dominated by the ocean more than once.
Won a very coveted flag football intramural championship.
Built a canoe with our bare hands.
Ran a successful dog grooming business out of a van.
Ran the Ragnar twice.
Said we'd never run the Ragnar again, twice.
Kate broke into her own house and fit through the tiniest window a human could fit through.
Kate got really good at pretending she was deaf.
150 bad dates.
6 allergic reaction, one on a date (see above).
Created a new dog breed.
Became the world's greatest aunts.
Spent our life savings in J. Crew.
Participated in our own Olympic Games.
Won a bunch of gold medals.
Still don't understand Asians.
Decided red heads have souls too.
After writing this list we're pretty impressed with ourselves. I mean, we don't have kids but we have a bunch of pets. Cheers to the next 10 years, may they be as eventful and fulfilling as the last.
Sincerely,
A couple of ladies with no babies, but a bunch of pets.

My favorite moments:
"Becca almost got married.
Kate bought 2 birds."
The juxtapositioning here is gorgeous and hilarious.
Also: "thought about grad school. got real jobs."
You, my friends, cannot imagine my joy that I have been a casual looker-on and sometime-bestie and always neighbor the last tenzies.

Quite possibly the best blog post known to man. Especially the last two. I'm grateful I've had the honor of being part of these last ten obviously fantastic and fulfilling years. Here's to the next ten!
