Yep, this year on my birthday I will be the Big 3-0!
Hooray for me! Why the excitement you may ask? Well, in my own little world, 30 feels like I've finally arrived to adulthood. Depending on who you ask, many may say I've already arrived. But the first part of my 20's were so riddled with craziness and the stupid choices of a young person that I feel like this decade of me turning 30 is like a new slate.
Now my 20's weren't all bad. I graduated from college, got married to the love of my life, moved about 8 times (internationally and cross country), had 2 kids (NATURALLY!) and a plethora of other things. We have a house full of furniture, two vehicles, and have paid enough bills for a lifetime. But I made such rookie mistakes early on. Mistakes that could've been avoided and some that I'm still dealing with the consequences. Of course many of them could've been avoided had I listened to the advice of others around me but you know you can't tell grown people anything!
At 30 though, I know myself pretty well. I'm confident in who I am and what I was placed here on earth to do. I don't know everything and as the mother of two young children, I'm learning daily what it takes to be a good parent. However these days, I'm answering more questions than I'm asking. I really feel that I'm making moves for a successful future.
Now, to decide what to do for the big day? I'm away from my friends which is such a bummer. We're all turning 30 this year and so far, I've missed 2 big parties because I'm not around. I'm wondering if hubs will do anything? He is not the romantic type, nor the planner type. I threw him a surprise 30th but I kinda don't want put all my wishes in a basket hoping that he'll do the same only to be disappointed. I'll guess we'll have to see...
