As I sit here pondering...no I'm not pondering. I'm thinking how did I get here, to the age of 30? These past 30 years have gone by so incredibly fast and I think that's what makes some of us panic about the looming age of 30.
We're finally adults, although some of us don't want to accept that yet, but the world sees us that way, so ready or not! I decided to do this blog a few weeks ago when I saw a post on Facebook. A young man had taken a picture of his face, every year, for seven years and for some reason that really got me thinking. First, what an awesome idea, not to mention the decidation involved and that my impending 30th birthday was just around the corner.
I have several reason for creating this blog. First, as you might have guessed, is my turning 30 tomorrow, Ocotober 11th at 10:06 PM (I don't need to be refering to myself as 30 until that exact moment) and that I wanted a place to document my thoughts about turning 30 and my experiences during my 30s. I've always thought, besides puberty, that my 20s were my most "life-altering" years. I decided up on a career as a teacher, I graduated from college and I earned my Masters Degree. I have survived 5 years of teaching middle school-aged children, I met and married my husband, I've purchased my first car on my own, I own a home, and I own a furry baby, named Lola. That's a lot to experience in 10 years, but as I get older and hopefully a little wiser, I have a feeling that my 30s are going to be just as eventful, as they should be.
So...as my last night, as a twenty-something, I'm going to embark on a journey tomorrow and I'm not going to look back (ok, maybe a little). So are you in, or are you out?
