Okay, so I turned 30 on April 28. We went out to dinner to the Olive Garden on that night...yum....and then my husband threw me a big party this past weekend. We rented a house at Sandbridge Beach and invited family and friends (Adults only) on Friday night for food and drinks and a DJ/Karaoke. It was a ton of fun, but later that night, or early Saturday morning I should say, it hit me......I'M 30! It was 2:30 am and instead of partying til dawn, or being passed out, I was wide awake cleaning up. Go figure? My realization was confirmed by the fact that spending time with my family, the rest of the weekend, was much more precious to me than a night of partying. But in all honesty, I am not as freaked out about my 30's as I thought I was going to be. I had some great times in my 20's, like meeting and marrying my husband, and giving birth to my two children, things I would never trade for anything in the world. BUT there were times that were tough on me medically, and therefore tough mentally also. Feeling physically weak, and physically awful can take a toll on you mentally. So I am thinking my 30's should be a breeze. And as a wise friend said to me..."you have a choice....you can get another year older, or you can die." Okay....well....that choice is so simple. Live until my time is up and let the numbers be numbers. My family, they are my life....and totally worth many more years!
