I don’t feel 30. However, my driver’s license tells me I am. I remember when 30 seemed like a distant birthday and people in their 30’s seemed so much older than me, even when I was 29! 🙂
And as much as I don’t feel that old, while reflecting back I suppose I deserve to be 30.
In the last 10 years, I have:
Married.
Bought our first house.
Graduated college.
Worked as a graphic designer.
Had first child.
Husband graduated college.
Moved to Milwaukee and bought a house.
Still worked as a designer
Had second child.
Picked up woodworking
Moved to Arizona and bought a house.
Had third child.
Still working as a full-time wife/mother, part-time designer and part-time carpenter/handyman.
Clearly, I’ve had a busy decade! So 30 arrived and I accepted it in all it’s glory! I always envisioned a fun themed party or a trip to six flags to bring in the new decade. But I’m the party planner, not my husband, and it’s totally awkward to plan your own party – so instead we celebrated with family over cake and ice cream.
I have a feeling my 30’s are going to be good to me!
i'm still not liking the idea of turning 30. way to take it the right way. although i think you still should have a big party. (even if you plan it) i have my party in the works. i have already contacted my friends to prepare for it. i want to party like a maniac. hope you have 30 more wonderful years, and then some!
Glad you are accepting 30. justin about had a breakdown!! I still have one more year to soak in my youth. I have a feeling though that 30 is the new 20. Happy Birthday!!
I failed to wish you a happy birthday when I talked to you. I thought of you. You like to pack all the celebrating into one clump, right? I still remember Steve taking you to Sybaris for your anniversary!! Happy Birthday. You are remarkable.
