I have so many of the things that seemed to be distant dreams back then. A brief summary:
-graduated college
-got a real job
-got engaged
-bought a house
-got married (those first 5 were all in 12 months)
-went on my last vacation with my parents and sisters: to the Smokeys and Charleston, SC
-went on 12 vacations with Matt, adding 7 new states to my list and 4 countries, doing everything from snorkeling in Hawaii and gambling on the Vegas strip to drinking tea at a palace in London and eating crepes under the Eiffel Tower
-saw 4 of my sisters and countless friends & cousins get married
-bought my first car, drove it for 8 years and sold it
-bought jet skis used them for 5 summers, sold them, bought a new one
-went skydiving twice
-became an aunt - first by marrying into Matt's family and then when my sister had kids
-saw Backstreet Boys, Carrie Underwood (3xs...), Zac Brown Band, Kenny Chesney, Hunter Hayes, Craig Morgan, Josh Turner, Billy Currington, and various other opening acts in concert
The two biggest milestones of probably my whole life happened in my 20s: first becoming a wife by marrying Matt:
We look so young!! |
Luke is so little!! |
Anyways. Other than many of the people in it, so little of my life is the same as it was 10 years ago. I start to freak out a little when I realize I won't be in my 20s anymore...30 is like a whole new category!! But at the same time, the older I get the better I feel I know myself. As mature as I thought I was at 20 I know I've done a whole lot of growing up since then.
I am apprehensively excited to see what my 30s bring. Here's to growing up!
