Then we got all dolled up and I mean dolled up! Hair and nails did and a crushed velvet dress and heels!! He took me to this semi-secret bar/steak place called Bull in the Alley. Best steak we've ever had and definitely biggest dessert. We sat at our booth, ate and drank for 2.5 hours and talked without interruption. It was all I could ask for.
Honestly I'm in such a great place in life right now that it's impossible to mope about being 30. I have an amazing husband with whom I've built this rock hard, fun, adventurous marriage with who turns out to be the BEST father I've ever seen in real life. I have made two beautiful children that we love watching grow, spending every day together and dragging them with us for all our adventures. I've traveled abroad more than most have even dreamed of and done it all with my best friend. I lived out my dream of becoming an officer in the military and cheerfully closed that chapter on my life. I've now earned THREE college degrees (1 associates and 2 bachelors) with money left for my masters in the future. I finally get to embark on a career that ignites my soul and I get to do it on my own terms. Before I got pregnant with my second baby I was in the best shape of my life, at 29! I know I'll be there again soon, and stronger at that. I just really have zero room for regrets, saddness or take backs at this point in my life. It all hasn't been easy or without sacrifice, tears and student loans but it's been 100% my choice and my path. 1000% worth it.
I have some big dreams these next few years and we have some hefty family goals as well to meet. I'm so excited to see where this next decade takes me and my family. Cheers to the best decade!
Happy 30th!! <3
