New decade.

So, I am 30.

I thought it would be easy to be 30. I didn't think I would freak out about it.

I remember when my mom turned 30, that day she was helping some friends put together their wedding reception in the apartments club house. When we got her to come back to the apartment for birthday cake, I can just remember her crying and crying as we sang.....she was not the happiest person about turning 30.

The other night, laying in Jasons lap, I mentioned something about being 30, and trading me in for a newer model, and it hit me.... I.am.turning.THIRTY!

How behind am I in life.
I am living in an apartment, just got married, terrible credit, no kids of my own........I am behind.

So this year I am going to try and make major strides to get my life in order. They say 30 is the new 20......so I have lots to do.
Following this post, I will make my 30/30 list. 30 things I want to do in my 30th year......

30 will be wonderful. I will make it wonderful.
