30 feels right

I am 30.  Officially, I have been 30 for 17 days, 12 hours, and 15 minutes, and I am kind of loving it. It may sound cliche, but I feel more myself now than I ever have before.  It is a good, rounded feeling. I am comfortable in my skin. I feel healthy and beautiful.  I have a steady grasp on life and where I want it to go.  I no longer feel the anxiety of what people might think about something I believe, or like, or don't like.  Time can't be wasted worrying about the judgement of others. Happiness is a very real, attainable life status and it feels good to go after it.  I know who is on my side, who has my back, and who doesn't.  30 is going to be a year of owning it for me.  The good, the bad, the hiccups, its my life and i plan on taking full responsibility.  So, a few fun things I have done since I turned 30.  We went to Vegas! Chelsey (agreatbigcanvas.blogspot.com) and I jumped off the Stratosphere as soon as we arrived.  I confidently wore a dress with a plunging (and I mean plunging) neckline out on the town. Hubby and I road tripped to California with one of our best friends.  We rented a moped for the day and drove through the mountains for hours laughing and hiking.  I got my nose pierced! (eek).  And last but not least, I quit my job and went to work for my brother/sister in law as their nanny. It is less hours working which means more hours as a wife, and that is exactly what we needed.  The extra perks money can bring are great, but the decreased stress level and increased family time are so much greater.  I am loving 30. Who knew aging could be so rejuvenating?!
