2 Weeks Left of Being in my 20's!

It hit me today that I have only 2 weeks (and 1 day) left of being in my twenties! CRAZY! I don't feel like I'm going to be 30. I still feel like I'm 25. Maybe that's because my husband and all our friends that we hang out with regularly are 25. It just sounds so old to say that I'm 30. Is it really possible that I could be that old?

My view of being 30 has definitely changed over the years. When I was younger 30 was definitely OLD. Then I graduated college and moved to NYC where many of my friends were already 30 (or nearly 30) and so my view switched to where 30 wasn't that old and there were a few times that I accidentally said that I was 30 when I was asked my age. Then I moved back to Utah, married a younger man, and started hanging out with people 4-5 years younger than me (since most people here my age have been married for years and have a bazillion kids). Now I feel like 30 is old again.

I want to go back to my NYC days when 30 was young!

But throughout the years I have always had a couple of goals that I wanted to accomplish before I hit this milestone. Namely be married and have at least one kid. And guess what folks...I've done that! It might not seem like much of an accomplishment to all you out there who got married at the typical Utah Mormon age of 20. But I've never been a typical Utah Mormon so it's not much of a surprise that I didn't follow in that mold either.

Anyway...I digress. My 30th birthday.

This year I wanted to do something special and super fun for my birthday since it's kind of a big one. So needless to say I was VERY excited to hear that Lady Antebellum was coming to SLC on the day before my birthday! In fact, I was so excited that I made sure that I got my tickets during the pre-sale offered by a local radio station so that I could make sure I got tickets to the show.

But of course you know what they say about the best laid plans... A few weeks ago I got an email saying that the concert had been rescheduled for January 22! But don't worry...my tickets will still be valid. I wanted to cry! I probably wouldn't have spent all that money for a concert in January. This was going to be something special to do for my birthday. But alas...it's being delayed by 2 months.

So instead of going to a concert for my birthday now...we are going to MOVING! That's right. We are going to be moving back into the house that I bought back in 2010 and have been renting for the past couple of years. So maybe not as fun as a concert...but definitely exciting!

I'm not sure what the purpose of this post is...I'm just kind of rambling and wasting time. So there you have it. My ramblings about only being in my 20's for 2 more weeks :). As much as I'm not looking forward to being 30, I think this birthday will actually end up being pretty awesome!
