30, I Like You

I like this season of life. I feel like everyone around me is turning 30 or just did or is about too. People are on that second or third kid... Other friends of mine are excited to officially own a home.
A few friends of mine just turned 30 and my husband is going to in a few weeks. And so far I like it because it has a feeling of security... as if things are falling into place more for us, and for and those around us.

We've all gotten smarter, but not too smart. It's like we now know enough to be seasoned and not do as many stupid things (like driving all the way across the country going 100 miles/hr while getting tickets in ever state). Not that my husband and I ever did that at the tender age of 25.  (Don't judge me, it was pre-kids).  The point is - we know better now. We now know enough and yet, none of us feel like we know it all yet.  I enjoy not being a sixty year old been there done that person. Thirty feels nice and so balanced!

Brandon and I can now navigate the world with a little more wisdom and yet, the world is still so mysteriously vast with so much more to be known. I still have yet to leave this country!  I'm glad I'm not 80, and I'm glad I'm not 20.  Basically, I like this spot in age-dom.

We do have three kids in tow under the age of five. And Brandon just started his own business. So it's intense around here. But all that is what I'm talking about. Constant change is flowing. New kid, new job, first house, and we haven't done any of it for very long if you really think about it. Life is way more enjoyable when you've learned a few lessons for sure. But also, way peaceful when finances aren't such a constant problem. I seem to have surfaced from my 20's like I can breathe now.
