3-0

they say 30 is the new 20. i sure as heck hope so, because today i woke up T-H-I-R-T-Y.

thirty?

really?

growing up, i thought of thirty year-olds as people that have mortgages, spouses, jobs, kids, responsibilities...wait. crap. well, i can subscribe to a few of those things, but some i refuse to buy into yet. age is just a number, correct?

it seems like i just graduated from college. i am still in shock that i was old enough to get married last summer. i didn't feel old enough.

and the thought of having kids? frightening. i feel like i would get in trouble with my parents if i called and said i were pregnant. i mean teen pregnancy is bad, right? ; )

my dad and sister-in-law have already told me that being 30 is great. they say it gives you "credibility" with others when they hear you are 30. well that stinks! i felt completely credible yesterday and was unaware that i was not, in fact, previously credible. i think it's just a nice way of saying that i am getting older. and because i am a glass-half-full-kinda-gal, i'm going to embrace this and move on.

well...maybe tomorrow. ; )
