Today I am 31. Yep, I am officially in my 30s, not just 30, but in my 30s. And to be honest, it feels kind of great.
To think 10 years ago, I was 21. A crazy night yes, but I don't think that I would want to go back for any amount of money. In that 10 years, so much has happened. I am such a different person, and I love the person I have become. I became a college graduate and a retiree in 10 years. I became a wife and mother. I became me.
To think 20 years ago, I was a 11. And Whoa, what an awkward kid! So glad I am not her anymore. I joke that I was a nerd, who never actually knew I was a nerd, and so I tried to be who I wasn't. For a young girl, I think that is hard and confusing. I most definitely would not change my 30s for my teen years ever again.
And to think in 10 years, Calan will be 11. Time is so crazy. It can seem so long when you are going through it, but it becomes just a blink of an eye when you look back.
Not sure what my 30s will look like when I look back, but so far they have been kind of amazing. So, happy birthday to me.
Happy Birthday to you Jodie! I am only 33 and have a 14 year old...time does go by in the blink of an eye. It is funny because my two littles I enjoy so much more than I did my big kids because I now have the appreciation of that aspect that they grow so fast. With the big kids, I was always so excited for them to walk, talk, play etc....I hope your beautiful family spoiled you!
