Technically, I'm still on a blogging break, but I woke up this morning to find both girls still sleeping & a few minutes of peace to myself. With only 2 days left in my 20's, I thought a little writing time should be allowed.
I realize that when I turn 30 on Friday I won't actually feel any different, but there really is something special about this milestone. I think the first 30 years of your life tend to be one anticipation after another. You're learning new things, trying new things, hitting up all sorts of lifetime milestones. At this point in my life, there aren't really any more big events left that focus on me.
I'm not saying that I think my life it over by any means. I realize that life is what you make of it & I intend to start traveling. I want to see the world. I want to work on my career once the kids are in school. I have my children's milestones to look forward to. We're at a crossroads of our life right now & there are more houses to move to, adventures to take, parties to go to. There's even one more baby to be born. (Nope, not yet, but someday!)
I'm excited to be turning 30. I'm happy to have have gone through so much already knowing that now I can ponder life a bit as I go along. I have this picture that time will slow a bit after 30 & not whiz right by like childhood tends to do.
I'm lucking out this birthday weekend. A good friend of mine from college is getting married on Sunday so a few of my college friends are going to be in town for my birthday on Friday. My very good friend Caron will be staying with us for part of the weekend too, which I'm so excited about. On my birthday morning I'm dropping Ava off at a friend's house & Caron, the baby & I are heading up to Napa for some wine tasting (obviously no wine for Alexa) with my college roommate & her family, who are also in the Bay Area for the wedding. We'll come home for a short rest before leaving both girls with a babysitter for the night. I have a great big group of people heading to my favorite pizza place for dinner & then going out for drinks after. I feel so lucky to have so many great friends willing to celebrate this big day with me!
Bring on the 30's! I'm ready.

That's awesome! I on the other hand am afraid of how fast things are going now. My childhood was long and glorious, and the past decade has completely zipped by. I'm afraid I'll blink and be 40, be the mother of a teenager. So I try really hard to hold on to passing moments now, and lament a bit the onset of each new year. :)
