Hello, followers! It has been some time since I last wrote, and I PROMISE I am not going to make a lack of writing/updating you a habit.
Many things have happened since I last wrote, including buying a new house and moving to a different city, growing our family by two (twin girls born 2021!), and celebrating the start of my third decade of life. Let me tell you- it has truly been a wild ride lately, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
But before I get into the nitty gritty of life and how things have changed over the last few years, I really want to dive into one thing first- my 30th birthday.
I feel like it was just yesterday I was celebrating other age-related milestones, like scoring my driver’s license at sixteen, starting college at seventeen, being able to legally drink at twenty-one, and lower car insurance at twenty-five. But now, suddenly, I’m no longer in my twenties. I’m a thirty-year-old woman.
I think it’s going to be a time for adventure and love and all wonderful things.
But thirty is just as huge of a milestone, I think. I’m more financially secure, I’ve put down roots in the northeast, and I’ve started a family. Although many of us mourn our youth (and I’m sure I’ll be no exception- especially with all these new aches and pains I’m experiencing on a daily basis), I think thirty is where our life really begins. More trips and adventures, more vacations, more new experiences that we may not have been able to experience before due to lack of funds, and more time to make memories with friends and family. I’m truly looking forward to everything that thirty will bring. As I said to one of my nearest and dearest friends recently, I think it’s going to be a time for adventure and love and all wonderful things.
I’m sure I’ll have more thoughts on being thirty as the year goes on (I’ve only been thirty for a week, after all), but if you read this far and you still follow my blog after all this time of inactivity, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I appreciate you reading my thoughts.
Until next time,
Emily (Now thirty, flirty and thriving)
