She's on the move

Turning 30

I have been 30 years old for 2 weeks now, and I have to tell you...it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I was really dreading this birthday (well that's probably a mild understatement), and it didn't help that my grandparents agreed that 30 was the hardest age to turn out of 40, 50, 60, 70 & even 80!
Well the big day rolled around and my sister made sure it was a good day. We started out with a yoga class and then met the boys for a yummy breakfast and then it was off to facials and shopping. We ended the evening with wine and finger foods on the porch and then played some Wii until really late (definitely past a 30yr olds' bed time). It was a great way to bring in 30!
I don't know why I dreaded this age so much because I know myself better, I have a beautiful daughter, a great husband, and still many adventures ahead, and as a friend said "you start to care less" about things that don't matter. So now I'm looking forward to the next decade...I might as well embrace it with grace rather than being resentful and still 30!

I have to say a huge thanks to my amazing sister for making my 30th so great. I appreciate the thought and time you put into me. You have no idea how much it meant. I love you, sister!
