Goodbye 20’s, Hello 30’s

Today I am 30 years young. And I do mean young. I certainly don’t *feel 30*; then again, I am not sure what *30* is suppose to feel like.

My 20’s have been exciting and tumultuous. Sometimes I wonder where all that time went, and yet I accomplished so much.

I would have to say that the last year of my 20’s was the most eventful.
• I earned a Master’s Degree
• I traveled overseas for the first time in my life
• I lived in 3 cities (Saskatoon, Oxford, Edmonton)
• I took my longest road trip.
• I got a new job.
• I said goodbye to too many close friends – old and new.

I have enjoyed my 20’s immensely and wouldn’t trade a minute of any day.

I became an aunt 3 times over; fell in love; earned my first degree; lost grandparents; got married; watched friends move away; bought my first home; partied; developed close relationships; struggled through depression; had 6 jobs; traveled all over Western Canada; got in shape; ran a triathlon; made new friends; and made mistakes.

I am sure there is more, but my brain has tapped out.

Good Times.

Today was perfect. For the first time (as far as I can remember) in 30 years it was not -40 degrees outside. Yipee. I got lunch from my co-workers, dinner from my friend, a nice gift from my parents and a wonderful surprise.

I love my birthday.

I wish I were one of those organized people who can remember birthdays and stuff *before* they happen. Alas. Happy birthday anyway!

Argh! I was even told recently when your birthday was, and yet here I am thinking -- oh yeah, Kaz is going up to celebrate neuba's birthday... I guess that means I missed it.

Glad it was fun.

30?!

Frak me.

Despite what those in their 20s say, 30 is not the bingo fuel point of life. Keep going and congratulations!
