30

I turned 30 today. Most people seem to have issues about turning 30, and so in my mind I feel like it should bother me somehow. But really, I'm glad to be done with my 20's. I feel like it's the start of a new chapter in my life, one which I look forward to writing. I value the experiences I have had and the wisdom I have gained in these 30 years and I wouldn't go back to my 20's for anything. I'm not thrilled with the thought of aging, but getting older is a rite of passage full of benefits, a worthwhile trade off in my opinion.
When I was 20 I had my first job interview. My employer asked how I saw my life 10 years from now. I answered honestly and told him I hoped to be a stay at home with a few kids. Of course that is exactly how my life has played out. I expected the kids would be much younger than what they are, and I didn't expect to have only 2 children, but I'm happy with how things have turned out. Now at 30, they'll be in school full time and I can figure out what I want to do with my life from here on out. As of right now I have no clue. I'm not ready to jump into anything just yet, nothing feels right. I trust that things will work out how they're supposed to when the timing is right. Until then I'm going to focus all of my energy on my kids and having a fun care free summer.
