The Big 3-0

You may have been able to tell by the name of my blog, or my frequent mention of  its inevitability, but I'll be turning 30 this year. I am kind of freaking out.

But in a good way.

My 20's were a roller coaster of changes, decisions, growth and life experiences. Looking back, I am a completely different person now then I was 9 years ago, 6 years ago, even last year. I have learned, adapted and changed the way I view myself, the people I surround myself with and the way in which I see the world. It was an incredible journey and I'm grateful for it all - even the less than glamorous parts. Without that I wouldn't be the person I am today.

I like to think the person I am today is pretty damn good. I feel so excited about the next 10 years and the type of experiences - married life, parenthood, home ownership - it will hold. So different then the last 10, but I'm ready to tackle them knowing exactly who I am and who I have in my corner. Its going to be amazing.

But before I do, we're going to have one hell of a sendoff. I am knee deep in planning the second biggest party I've ever planned. Despite my love for organizing a good time - tackling a group trip to Vegas has already been more work then I expected. Yet, as I learned in my 20s a little bit of work makes the payoff that much sweeter. This payoff just happens to be with two dozen of my friends, poolside in Sin City for a long weekend of fun and mayhem. What better way to send off an incredible decade and usher in a new one?
