The BIG 3-0

I'll admit, up until this week, I was having a hard time wrapping my head around the thought of me turning 30. I know I'm not the first one to turn 30 (E has been 30 for 9 months now) and I know I am not going to be the last one, but 30 just seems so old to me! I started thinking about that, and I decided that it was a good thing that 30 still seems old to me, because hopefully that means I will always be young at heart. And also, the music on my iPod, the shows on my DVR, and the books on my Kindle are those that a 17 year old would have (I said that to Eric, and he said I was giving myself too much credit. Haha honey....you are hilarious!)

Then, when I was working at Melanie's school, I was talking with one of her teachers, and she was telling me that she didn't have a problem turning 30, because she did so much in her 20s, she didn't feel like she had to rush to do anything. I'm really glad she said that to me, because I started thinking, I am turning 30, but I have been married for almost 8 years to a great guy, so no regrets there. I have 2 beautiful, healthy baby girls. We have a lovely home (not just a house, a home) that we have lived in for almost 7 years. I have wonderful family and friends. I accomplished a lot in my 20s, and now I have my 30s to enjoy it all. The one big difference is the car I drive...when I turned 20, I was driving a Mustang. Today I turn 30, and I now drive a mini van (and I am not ashamed to say that I do love the van. It's just awesome with the kids.) I don't have to worry about getting old and trying to date to find someone good enough to marry. I don't have to rush to have kids because I am getting older. I am finally in a place where I am physically and emotionally happy with my life, and I just feel good. So 30....BRING IT ON!! :)
