5:28am this cold Sunday morning, January 31, 2010 it happened....I officially turned 30. I am kind of in shock. I know every year we age, I just never imagined I would be 30. Me 30! Do not misinterpret, I didn't think I was going die or anything. I just NEVER imagined turning 30. It seems so old. BEING 30 I KNOW its NOT old...but I can't get the memory out of my head of being in my early-mid 20's (can't believe I just wrote THAT) and looking over at the group of 30 somethings laughing and enjoying a night out at the bar and thinking shouldn't THEY be home taking care of babies or paying bills or something??
Now here I am 30, with a house, bills and BABIES. Am I still allowed to go out to a bar every now and again? Can I go out and enjoy myself without some twenty-somethings judging my ass?
On the flip side, I do have incredible family and friends who helped me ROCK into turning 30. The weekend before my birthday my husband planned a surprise party at the Cask N' Flagon in Boston. With help from his sister they came up with a Captain theme in honor of my boyfriend Captain Morgan. A theme I NEVER would have thought of, but absolutely loved. Balloons, beads, hats that said "Sail with Captain Karen", special signs...I could go on and on. It was an amazing night. Topped off with spending the night in a beautiful Hotel.
I have to admit I did have a mini depression the actual weekend of my birthday. I am not sure if it was more of a P.M.S thing or an actual depression about turning 30. Either way I am over it now because I really don't feel like I am 30.
For 30 I do have to say I have a good life. I experienced college to the fullest. I got to work in all levels in the sports industry from high school all the way to the professional level. I married the man I always knew I would and dreamed of marrying; and he has turned into an incredible man! We have a beautiful home and 2 healthy, beautiful, amazing children. We have terrific friends and family. Life is GOOD. No, Life is GREAT!
I am so blessed, so loved, and so full of life and happiness. It is a lot more than a lot of other 30 year olds have...it is more than what people at all sorts of ages have. So bring on 30...YUP now I am READY for you. Instead of an uh-oh I welcome you with a big HELL-O =)
