This is THIRTY.

Thirty, flirty and thriving.

Wow, three decades old. Where do I begin? I was so eager for this year to be upon us, because I knew it would be full of big milestones. Not once did I ever envision a pandemic would kick off the year of 2020. Times have changed, maybe some for good, but we know this isn’t going to be our norm forever. It’s definitely given me some time to reflect on these last three decades, but to also dream and plan my future. 

It has definitely been quite the journey to the here and now. I’ve gotten two college degrees. I’ve lost some of my closest loved ones. I got a dog. I met the love of my life(!). I’ve gained sisters and become an aunt. I’ve seen my best friends get married and start their own little families; change into their next phase of life. I always knew I’d get there, but didn’t know when that would happen for me. I find myself, now especially, shifting to a more ‘adult’ phase. I wonder what I’ll say to myself thinking back on this moment in my life when I’m 40, 50? Haha. Time slow. down. 

I’m thrilled to see what this next decade holds. I hear some of the best years of your life happen in your thirties. The one I’m looking most forward to is marrying my best friend this fall. Cheers friends! Thank you for following along!

Also... side note: this is where we were supposed to be today... toes in the sand with a coconut drink in hand. Thanks covid, you ruined this birthday girl’s plan! I’ll just leave this photo right here..... maybe next year. I'm thinking 31 will be just as great. Ha!

A special thank you to my sister for taking these photos. I love you, moreeeee.
