Well it's been a week since the "big" day and I have not been required to say it out loud yet. Having to say "I am 30" in response to the dreaded question "How old are you?" seems so weird! Am I different? I don't know...maybe. I have decided to do a few things differently, a little gift to myself and my family! I wonder if anyone will notice? ;)
While turning 30 wasn't nearly as scary as I had anticipated, I can't say that it is a welcomed milestone in my life just yet! I am sure over time it will grow on me. I am going to keep my eyes open for opportunities to slow time down, appreciate more, love more, and hopefully laugh more! Carpe Diem!
30 was really hard for me. I had just gone back to work from maternity leave and Jess was working almost a two hour commute away with crazy long hours. So I was postpartum, dealing with a newborn and 3000 miles away from all my family. And to top it all off, Jess sort of forgot that it was my birthday. I think he got his days confused as it was midweek, and was probably still a bit sleep deprived. Anyhow, not my favorite birthday. I'm actually looking forward to 40, feels like an accomplishment.
