30 Before Thirty

I recently turned 28. People have asked me if I feel different- older. The answer is no. Honestly before my 28th birthday I couldn't remember if I was 27 or 28. I think half of the time I thought I was already 28. The only difference I can see is I am only 2 years away from 30. Now 30 sounds old! No more twenty something who can get away with anything.  At 30 people expect you to be responsible and have your shit together.

The Hustler truly believes most women go through a semi mid-life crisis at age 30. He says he is already preparing for my crisis!? I have no idea what he is talking about, but he says he knows people whose wives went through the 30 crisis. Does anyone else know what he is talking about? I get the feeling he is not looking forward to me turning 30 either.

Lately I have come across blogs that talk about a 30 Before Thirty list- something like a Bucket List, but the items must be checked off by your 30th birthday. Since I love lists I thought this was right up my alley!

  4. Sure Angie! I am going to count on you for all of those numbers! Hiking Pikes Peak terrifies me and my cooking is not the best. I am excited for our vacation in April!
    Ashley, I was afraid that we wouldn't get to it by the time I turned 30. That only gives us this winter and next winter to plan it. Okay I should have put it on the list!
    Thanks Rhonda! I'm glad to hear 30's are better!
