I was thinking today. I have about a month and change left of my 20's. I am cringing on the eve of my 30th birthday. Wow! I honestly feel young and vibrant. I am healthy and happy and life just seems good right now. I mean, I'm doing what I've always dreamt of doing, raising my two kids. Sure times are tough and bills are hard to pay with me staying at home, but it is all worth it. I will eliminate frivolous material things and nice vacations for the sake of my dream. Which is what we're doing. Hell, we're selling our brand new home to upsize and downsize, if that makes sense. We're getting rid of the 190K home for the 120K home with more room. Room over quality. Anyway-that's not the point of this post.
The point, Hell, I don't know-just to say that I'm almost 30 and it doesn't even bother me. I thought I would dress in black for months and dive into a depression, but honestly I feel good. I feel alive. I feel full of hopes and dreams. I have lots of goals to accomplish and going into my 30's sounds fun and exciting to me. I hope to finish my 30's off with a bang and bring in my 40's with lots accomplished!

31 and happy!
I always thought I woould be married by 25 and have my perfect family by 30. Instead, I didn't meet my husband until I was 28, and spent my 30th birthday 8 months pregnant with our first born. I wouldn't change a thing!
Sometimes, and mostly when I am hanging out with my best friend from college, I have to stop and think - WOW! We are actually over 30. It doesn't seem real....
33 (34 this year) and COULDN'T BE HAPPIER! There is just something about being in your 30's, I'm telling you. I feel so freakin sure of myself, confident and SEXY as hell!
30's rock! You're almost in the "cool" club. lol.
Hi! Don't think I posted on de-lurk week, but I'm a reader of your blog. Stop by mine anytime!! I am going to be (gasp) 32 in April. Entering 30 did not bother me at all but now that I'm pushing my middle 30's I'm having a hard time believing how fast time flies. It isn't the age that bothers me, just the speed at which each year passes. I am a mom of 2 kids a boy who is almost 6 and a girl who is 3.5. I didn't know there were houses out there for 190 or 120K!!! I live in MN and the lowest you could possibly go to get a house would be maybe 200K, and it would not be much at all. Wow!
28!
some days I do feel older though! LOL
You have such adorable little boys! They look so much like you, especially Jacob!
Hello,
I've read your blog for a few months now. I can't remember if i've commented or not. We were pregnant together. My youngest was born 11/14/05. I'm just opposite of you. I have two beautiful girls while you have two gorgeous boys. Hannah my oldest is 2 1/2 and Phoebe is 2 months now. I'm 33, i'll be 34 on the 2nd of Febuary. The year i turned 30 was all about change for me. But it was all for the better. On the first day of the new year that year i found out i was pregnant with hannah, 5 months pregnant. Now i'm happy and ready to go do any thing. Sleeping would be nice though lol

I turned 30 last October and this is literally the best time of my life! I feel like everything is just where i want it to be (kids, hubby, happy!) and it is just fun. I feel more confident. The big 3-0 is awesome! -j
Turning 32 later this year...and no regrets about my age at all!
I always say that if you can look back on another year of your life and see more good than bad, then bring on the next!
