In the Next 30 Years

So, I am turning 30 tomorrow.  I have to admit it is a daunting number.  Made harder because I am not where I thought I would be at 30.  I don't know many people who's lives are exactly the way they planned them or are exactly where they thought they would be.  Actually, I can't think of one.  And maybe it is better that way.  Maybe if you live your best life everyday, the planning just doesn't matter so much.  I like that thought.  Stop planning, stop searching, stop thinking.  Just live a happy life.  I think I am doing a pretty damn good job of that.

Wow. 30. Do I actually want to admit that I am a little excited to what the next 10 years will bring.  My 20's were so filled with anxiety.  Anxiety about leaving college, getting a real job, relationships, financial independence, who I was, my next move, then the joy and test that was Wyatt.  Its just SO much. I have this great hope that my 30's aren't going to be like that.  That its going to be about loving myself, loving others, being happy with who I am and where I am.  I am sure there will be hardships but I am content and hopefully to put some of those old anxieties to rest.  I am excited at what lies ahead for me and for Wyatt.

To start off my next thirty years, Wyatt, Rebecca and I are taking to the skies.  Yes, tomorrow, the day I turn 30, we are headed to California for a week.  Hayley is so graciously allowing us to crash and Delta so graciously offered cheap last minute tickets.  What's to think about really?  On the agenda: Legoland (like RIGHT NOW!!  Wyatt is BESIDE himself!!), Cars-Land in Disney, the beach, some booze, some friends, and hopefully some glorious sunshine.  Not a bad way to start a decade.

Catch ya on the flip side!
