30 is the new 20

30 is the new 20 or so I keep telling myself. =)

Yup, I'm celebrating the end of a decade and the start of a new one today. At first, I wasn't so affected by this birthday because I think I'm at a point in my life where I want to be at 30. I'm married to the love of my life (yippeee!), we own a home (though we may owe more than what the home is worth right now), we have a dog, we are both working in our chosen career fields and now we have our first child on the way. So, no, no real feeling of crises or panic today as I turn a new decade. However, there is something a little nostalgic about saying good bye to my 20s. That decade sure was a rollercoaster full of super highs and super lows, especially those crazy college years. I had the time of my life and wouldn't trade it for the world. But now, I'm ready to start my "adult life./" Though I have been an "adult" for quite some time, I'm ready to start my life which will be spent the majority of time taking care of someone else other than myself or my hubby. It'll be an adventure that I'm sure will come with its own complete set of highs and lows, but I think I'm ready for this rollacoaster.

And important update, DH and I may have settled on our son's name!!!!!!!!!! I'm not ready to post it to the bloggy world (I have a cool idea for when I do tell and its not ready yet), but I'm kind of excited. I'm also holding back a little because what if I change my mind about the name? But so far these names (first and middle) have stuck with us for kind of a while amongst the many options we've been considering, so I think this may be it. Can't wait to share it with you all.
