Turning 30

Well I officially have 7 more days left in my twenties and then I turn 30. People have asked me how it makes me feel and to be honest I don't feel any different really. The thing I have noticed in the past few years is how I look at other people that are older than me. When I hear someone is 50 or 60 I'm like there is no way they are that old but then if you were to ask me if they were 20 or 30 years older than me I would easily say yes. I guess it's all in perspective.

I think I've done well for myself my first thirty years. I'm not a millionaire yet, far from it and with the real estate price decrease and the recent completed adoption maybe my net worth is negative, who knows. I have a wonderful family, a great church, a job where I don't fear being laid off, a nice house, cars that run, and a wonderful group of friends and family. If my next thirty years are as productive as my last 30 years I'll be doing well.

I plan to celebrate my birthday with our annual trek to my parents house up by Kansas City. The best thing about going up there is for three days we will do absolutely nothing. My parents have a pool and we basically lounge around the whole weekend. The house is kept as cool as a meat locker which I love and we sleep as late as the kids will let us, take naps when the kids take naps, and watch tv and veg out. My mom always cooks whatever I want for my birthday meal or we go out wherever I want. How good is that:) I haven't decided on the birthday meal yet but I'm thinking lasagna with whole grain noodles and red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. If your reading this mom I reseve the right to change my mind the next few days.

One thing that I've tried to work on as I turn 30 is being more physically active. I ran the 1/2 marathon a month ago, every Monday night I play full court basketball for 2 hours and then tomorrow we have our first work softball game. I've played a total of like 5 slow pitch softball games so tomorow should be interesting to say the least.

I'm going to do a post a day in the month of June. Hopefully that will build up the readers to our blog. Who knows if anyone will find it interesting but it will get us in the habit of blogging regularly. It will be really hard though becuase we have our church mission trip June 6th -13th so all my blogging will be done via email. I hope you enjoy the 30 posts in 30 days in June.
