30

Saying goodbye to my twenties feels rather bittersweet.  What a transformative and wonderful decade.  To think of how much life has changed, how much I’VE changed in the last 10 years.  Going to college, starting a career, launching a business, moving out, moving in with a boy, getting married, getting a dog, seeing more of the world.  Though my twenties were in a large sense quite care free, there was a great desire to not only grow up, but to be a decent adult.  And the last few years were a huge part of that, taking things like finances, health, and responsibility more serious than ever.  To counter balance all the seriousness, I have also been working to be better about pushing myself outside of that comfort zone.  If anything, the warmth of adulthood routine have inspired me to be learning new things as often as I can.

Though the past decade has been great, you know my motto: leave while you’re having fun!  Not that I had a choice, because here we are on my 30th birthday.  A day that has been so built up in my head that it’s surreal and almost anticlimactic now that it’s here.  I’m optimistic about 30 and hope to be ever changing and striving to be better.  It has been a beautiful ride thus far, I look forward to what the next 10 years brings!
