a birthday playlist

A friend recently challenged me to make a playlist with one song from each of my years on earth. Seemed too hard, but I compiled a list of my favorite birthday memories, a play-list of sorts:)

I've always loved having fall birthday, backdropped by leaves changing color

• Most of my 6-16 birthday parties were in the backyard on Lake Forest, homecoming on the horizon. One year we made a pyramid:)
• 16 year old birthday on Mom's back porch on Lake Hill....big bash, wore a Red and White shirt, did a Eric Nies dance with Lizzie (peppa, peppa)
  
• My 21st at 104 W Gorham. BIG PARTY. Lots of my friends from Madrid drove in
• India birthday #1. Jeff Perkins oh so lovingly pointed out I was drinking Delhi tap water-and 1st time I could throw an adultier party:)
• Keg on the Yamhill porch....that was probably 26 or 27 Trav, Kevin, and Tyler groovin some tunes
• Another Yamhill party, this time with Mom and Tim
  
• The blue oakley sunglasses birthday (thanks SCS!) , celebrated at the Nitty, and then hosted by Sarie- on Bassett?
• Every birthday celebrated with Jules who decorated rooms, sang songs AND invented dances for my two left feet:)
  
• Roller-blading birthday party on the lakefront with the happenstance of big balloon arch that we skated with
  
• First year in Portland birthday, Sarie came in (left little Ian alone at home with craig) and we went to the Cuban place with Rose (el was working)
• Nitty Gritty birthdays with a tag-off to Missy:)
  
• Birthday at the Delta Cafe in Portland-same year as party on the porch?
• Madrid birthday, celebrated in our dorm, then went dancing
  
• Today-starting the day with a 4 mile run with my friends, my motivation and lots of love!
• All the parties I've shared with Doug (and this year marks the end)
• Coffee date birthdays with Kyle before school
  
• My birthdays with my birthday twins, Laura Chrusciel Stone, Brandon Markle, Josh Jenkins, Douglas Beam, Carrie Bui
  

Thanks for all the memories:)
