It's Thursday and I'm Thirty

Woah.

I'm thirty.

It feels like such a big number.

Twenty-nine. Thirty.

Yes, thirty feels bigger.

I'm kind of/kind of not in denial that I'm in my thirties now.

I mean, it's a new decade of numbers, you know?

My twenties were good to me. Let's recap, shall we?

*Graduated college at 21
*Started grad school at 22
*Moved to Va Beach to continue Master's at 23
*Started dream job of HS History Teacher at 24
*The Husband and I got super serious at 25
*Moved back to DC at 26
*Got married and pregnant at 27
*Gave birth to my sweet M at 28
*Ran a half-marathon and settled into my new life and routine at 29

For my thirties, I have some goals.

*Have another baby
*Go back to teaching once our kiddies are old enough for school
*Sell our place and buy a bigger house
*Make those around you happy and find contentment in the little things

Because after all, it's the small things in life that matter most. The moments when the camera isn't quick enough, the smile that lasts through the day, and all the whispered I love you's that are spoken when the person can't necessarily hear it.

Yes. These moments are what matters most.

Here's to a fabulous new year of life.
