My last day as a 29 year old!

Goodbye Roaring Twenties!

Wow, I can't belive I will be 30 tomorrow. It doesn't hardly seem possible! I've been so busy!

I'm excited to turn 30. I don't think I dread it, oh sure, I may get a moment of a little sadness thinking - geez, I'm another year older, but looking back on my twenties - MAN AM I GLAD THAT'S OVER!

I must say my 28 and 29th year were among the best of the last decade. I found the love of my life, I got engaged, I went back to school to finish up the OTHER degree I put off after my BFA, I graduated AGAIN and now I feel so much older, wiser, happier. ACCOMPLISHED.

I think I started out in my twenties not really knowing or understanding my own personality. I dated... A LOT. I can honestly say that in my twenties I did not slow down, and I really did a lot of fun stuff. I knew what it was to eat Raman noodles 3x's a week for dinner because I just could not afford anything else. I got to travel a little and visit friends in Jackson, MS, Pensacola, FL and Gulf Shores, Alabama. (Now under a lot of water I might add.) I partied with friends (Hey I'm fun but I'm not irresponsible!) and road tripped a lot. I also had jury duty twice and voted. I saw my mom go through chemotherapy and eventually remission! I moved to a huge town not knowing a soul and ended up making friends. I took up running and weight training! I made a major makeover when I lost 20 lbs and cut off all my hair! I learned A LOT about knee injuries...and recovered from one!

My twenties reminded me a lot of my gradeschool days. I made a lot of friends. I did a lot of fun stuff. I learned a lot in school, but mainly I learned that I was strong and independent. The more we change, the more we're still the same - right?

This little ENTJ has a lot more in store for her 30's...
My marriage, hopefully children, and perhaps enhancing my career even further!

It's exciting!
Overall.. I'm feeling more alive than ever... and not so much old as I feel wise.

Life is good!

HELLO 30!
