Well, I did it. I turned…thhhhhh………………………..hold on, give me a minute….. thhhhhhh………………………irrrrrrrrrrty. Thirty. There. I’ve written it, I’ve said it and it still doesn’t really feel real, but…it is. And so far, thirty hasn’t been as bad as I expected it to be. Like someone else told me, the idea of turning 30 is worse than actually turning 30. Plus, having a fantastic trip to Cali leading up to my birthday greatly helped soften the blow.

I still don’t feel like I should be this old though. When you’re 10 years old you think 30 is ancient and then when you hit it you think, but….but….but I still feel 18. I hope I feel this way at 40…and 50…and 60. People used to say your 20’s were the best years of your life but now it seems to be the 30’s. So, we’ll see.

But…………………if anyone asks……………………I’m still 23. Got it?
