I have been having a hard time with this 30th birthday...but the more I think about it the more ok it is. I may not be 21 anymore but I have a wonderful husband, 4 beautiful children, we both have good jobs that we at least somewhat enjoy. I have a mini van, a house, a lot. Enough work to keep me busy. Friends, family. A blog. A dad that orders me pizza for my birthday and loans us cars when we need them. In laws and parents and sisters that help me with the kids.

Really I can't ask for much more.

Soon I will be posting my list of goals for my 30s. (I am sure Noah is rolling his eyes right now. More lists, Julie? Really? Yes, my dear, you should try it. Love you :)
