What do I think about on my 30th birthday

OMG I just turned 30.  I am having a major life crisis.   I made goals to get married, have kids, and live in a nice home in the suburbs.  I had goals that I've traveled and seen the world by the age of 30.  What do I have to show for in the last 3 decades?  It's getting harder to loss weight, my body and skin isn't perky and good at resisting the harshness of the world.  My skin is no longer smooth and wrinkle free.  I am 30 and can I really have kids?! What will I be doing in the next 30 years?

That is the stuff that goes through my head today.  It initially depressed me and had put a number of my fragile mind.   However just thinking about the major accomplishments I've had in my life I'm happy that I had made conscious decisions to at least made baby steps to meet my goals.  I got married to a wonderful husband.  I have kitties who gives me unconditional love.  I am getting my masters in June.  I am among people that exemplifies love and support for one another.  Because of that, I am doing great and that makes the the happiest person in the world.  Sure, I’m not where I thought I’d be when I reached 30, but you know, I’m pretty happy with where I am.  It’s so cliche, but I feel like I have so much ahead of me.  There are so many exciting things happening in the world and so many opportunities to grow personally and professionally.  I’m glad to have my place in all of it, at least until things change again and I go off on my next adventure... BRING IT ON!

August Birthdays

Zak and I invited a bunch of people for a celebration of August Birthdays. To Amanda and Kim, their birthdays came last friday and Zak's birthday is coming up. It has been awhile since we had that many people over at the house usually we meet up at the bar or restaurant. Since we weren't looking to spend a lot, we decided to do a potluck and byob. It was something different and cost-effective for everyone. The food was plentiful and delicious. The best part was having an excellent group of people to celebrate with.
Our friends are allergic to cats (we have 4 cats) but they toughen it out through the night! Bryan has proven to be top dog in a push-up competition. As the party progressed, we pulled out the Wii and played Guitar Hero for the rest of the night. I would love to do this again... and include a board or card game as another entertainment option. What else would be of great entertainment value that anyone can join in?

Thanks again for the good food and company!!
