Here I am thirty. How’s it going?

I never thought I would be one to ever care how old I would get, but there’s just something about leaving your twenties behind. You do a lot of growing in your twenties, not just physically.

I haven’t added in a 30 year old photo. I won’t until I get my hairs done on Saturday. Anyway, here’s what my twenties were for me:

1. I went to Europe, lived in France, visited Spain and England.
2. I lost my virginity.
3. I learned how to pluck my eyebrows.
4. I learned that it’s more important to do what makes you happy as opposed to what makes more money.
5. I was president of my chemistry and french clubs.
6. I graduated college.
7. I went to grad school.
8. I walked out of DC, past the pentagon on 9/11.
9. I had my heart  broken.
10. I learned what Adonois means. Several times.
11. I was kicked out of grad school.
12. I started  my career as an artist.
13. I fell in love.
14. I moved into my first apartment.
15. My roommate almost got me evicted.
16. I met my husband.
17. I got engaged.
18. I moved in  with a boy for the first time.
19. I lost track of some good friends.
20. I got married.
21. I went on my first, and last, cruise.
22. I went sailing for the first time.
23. I went to my first bar-mitzvah. And passover.
24. I reunited with some close friends.
25. I found my birth family.
26. I worked in a place that could actually be compared to hell.
27. I made some awesome  new friends.
28. I bought my first house.
29. I tried to get my horrible boss fired.
30. I quit a job, while pregnant, without having another lined up.
31. I got pregnant.
32. I went through 2 cars and am on my 3rd.
33. I gave birth, and it wasn’t so bad.
34. I became a stay-at-home mom.

I’ve learned so much. While I know I’ll still have things to add to that list, I know that the focus will mostly be shifted to others. Like, for instance, Julia can now touch her toes.

If I get around to it, I’ll post some photos of my favorite moments with friends and family. For now, I have some chores to do, even though I decided to not do any on my birthday.
