Thoughts on turning 30!

So my birthday is in 5 days to be exact! I will be 30 years old! Can you believe it...30 already!
Saying goodbye to your 20's and hello to your 30's is so very bittersweet. I know age is just a number and you are only as young as you feel but as Deanna Carter sings it I still remember when 30 was old. 30 means you are most definitly an adult, no more caught between girl and a woman. You are to have your shit together, your head on straight ect ect ect.

When I look at all that I have accomplished in my 30 years I am were I wanted to be:
::Happily married
::2 beautiful children
::a house that we call our own
::a career that pays my bills and that keeps me home with the babes

There are still things I plan on doing
::Travel
::Buying an RV or a big motor home to travel the world in
::Upgrade the house to a single family home
::Enjoying my children grow up and celebrating all the special milestones through my tears and saying all the while "where has the time gone?"
::Enjoying my grand babies (I am stopping now as this is going to far into the future)
All in all at least as I turn 30 I am going into it happy at the place I am in and feeling as though I have accomplished the things I wanted to have done by 30 however it is still hard to let go of the 20's and the vibrant youth that I have attached to those numbers.

Life is so full of lessons, I have learned so many. I wish I could bottle them up and take them back to the awkward unhappy teenager I once was and tell her that in the big scheme of things, it wont matter that I hate my hair, that it isn't worth sweating over the boy I love in that moment doesn't care the way I do, that I should enjoy being 10,13,16,19 ect as you only will have one year to be that age. Dont grow up to fast, dont rush those first because you only get them once and once they are gone they are gone forever. Enjoy it all because life will go by even when you are planning for it. So dont try to be perfect, just try to be you and to enjoy the small things as really that is all there is to life.
