Am I Really 30? Day One

I hit it. I hit the first big milestone as a real adult. 18 doesn't count, neither does 21 - you're still a kid at those ages. 30 is the big one. 30 means you're official. Whatever it is that you are, you're now a thirty-year-old {description goes here.}

What am I at thirty? Well, I'm a wife of 5 and a half years to a man I love more every day - even when he drives me totally bonkers. I'm a Mom, not a mother, a Mom. A very important distinction I think. My kids are my world. Allyson and Andrew, you give me more happiness than I ever imagined you would have. I'm a daughter (I try to be a good one), a friend (try to be good at that too) and an employee (which some times makes all of the above a little tough.)

I never feared turning thirty. In fact, I think I'm pretty excited about it. I feel like I have everything I ever wanted. A loving spouse, two great kids, two dogs, a nice house, family and friends that love me. Now its just time to see what the next thirty years (and beyond) is all about. I greet it head-on and look forward to the joys as well as the challenges.

With that, I thought I'd document a little about me. A friend of mine posted her "30 Days of 30" a year ago and I loved the idea. I can't promise that I'll be as diligent. Some days I may just throw something up here to satisfy the challenge, but I'll give it my best shot.

Without further adieu...

My Favorite Song

I love music. I know, lots of people say that. But really, how can you really pick your favorite? I'll freely admit that my absolute all-time favorites trend towards 80s soft rock with a little 90s R&B thrown in and maybe even a little 90s alternative. Must be because its what I grew up listening to. Here are a few:

Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight" - if you don't play the air drums to this song, you're no friend of mine.



P.M. Dawn "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" - He might be a one-hit wonder, but this one will always get turned up.



Candlebox "Far Behind" - Must listen to loud.



Oh man, I could go on and on. How on earth do people pick just one?

Enjoy!
