Well, this marks new territory for me... I will now join the 30's Club.
(by the way, is that Over-the-Hill? )
This is what Nixon thinks about Mommy turning 30.
Ya' know, my 20's were good to me... just to reminisce: I graduated
This is what Nixon thinks about Mommy turning 30.
Ya' know, my 20's were good to me... just to reminisce: I graduatedfrom BIOLA at age 20, I lived in China for a year, traveled to Thailand, Hong Kong and other parts of Asia, received my Masters in Teaching, taught some of the cutest and most talented 4th graders, made some of my most treasured friends, got my first boyfriend (shout out to Yoichi!), had my first kiss, got married, and had a baby (all with Yoichi! and in that order- haha!)!!
Besides those big events, or "rites of passage," I learned many lessons in life too. True wisdom that, I think, only comes with age... :) I think back to my early 20's and how insecure I was. I lacked such confidence; so unsure of who I was, and who I wanted to be. Living more to please others, and was scared of the world around me. I'm so grateful now that as I enter my 30's that I know more of WHO I AM and I'm okay with that. I've broken free from legalism-living, and become more comfortable with accepting and giving grace. I can't be perfect, and either can the people around me. That's a huge lesson! :) I also think in my early 20's I always wanted to be someone else, but now I find myself striving to be more "ME,"

You know what, I think my 30's can be the NEW 20's! :)
...more travels, new adventures, new dreams, more babies, more lessons to learn.
