2 Week Notice

In 2 weeks, I will be crossing a milestone.

It is apparently a big one. To some anyways. Definitely the biggest in a while for me.

Yep. In just 2 short weeks, I will turn 30. **Gasp**

I have never been one to be concerned about age and I am certainly not starting now, but I can't lie, it feels strange. Why? Because I can remember my parents being in their 30's!! How is it that I am here now?! Yeah, yeah, I know, time keeps moving forward, blah blah blah. Some days I just can't help but sit and ponder where the time has gone. I mean, I still can't figure out how I moved out of the Young Married's category and into the Married with Children one .. oh wait, I suppose that happened when I had the kids.

Well, at any rate, 30 is just another number along my timeline that is my life.

As I think back over how much I have learned about myself in the past 5 years, I can't help but feel thankful that I learned some hard lessons earlier than later. I also can't help but feel such a passion to share my daily struggles and what I have learned, what I am learning (sometimes again and again), and what I will continue to learn, with those around me.

NEWS FLASH: I finally know what I want to be when I grow up - a counselor.

This desire to share my story was one of the reasons I started blogging. I have found that 'writing it out' really helps me process through things. And since I know I am not the only human who deals with these issues, emotions, etc. (although we often think we are), I feel like it may help others too. That is why just about a year ago, I changed the name of my blog to Tonyalogy to represent both me 'studying' myself and sharing the narrative of my story. You can read that blog here.

So I had this thought: What better way to cross-over to my 30's than to take some time to share my life story? I mean, my memory isn't the best, but I have been feeling a push to write it down. Perhaps there is something for me to learn. Perhaps it's only to have it all in one place. Probably both are true.

I'm excited. A bit nervous too. The perfectionist in me wants to see this accomplished within a specific time-frame, but the real-life mom realizes that there are many days I desire to sit down and write but the time isn't there. Therefore, I will write and share when I can.

30. I will welcome you in 2 weeks. Until then, I will be enjoying the journey of reminiscing the past years, planning a princess party, and oh yeah, living my life as usual.
