It all started on 8-24-1979

Today I turned 30.


30.


Thirty.


The number doesn't scare me. I haven't had a melt down or a pre-mid life crisis. People keep asking "do you feel old"? Why? Should I? As I sit here tonight I am starting to think about where I am at 30. I find myself asking "is this where I thought I would be?"


That is a very good question. The answer is yes and no.


I am happily married with 3 healthy, beautiful children. Something I always wanted...check.


I haven't finished my college degree...hmm...


I live in a beautiful home on a beautiful piece of property with great neighbors to boot...check.


My husband and I just celebrated our 10 yr. anniversary and we are more in love than the day we were married.


I have a good job.


We pay our bills.


Life is good.


Still there is something about entering another decade of your life that makes you want to take inventory of your life. Break out the old "things I want to do before I die" list. I mean I have moved up an entire age bracket for crying out loud!


My life is great. Can it be better? What have I done in the last 30 yrs? What can I do in my next 30.


For now I will start with this first year in my thirties...starting tomorrow.
