For my first blog post I thought I should tell you exactly where I'm at in my life - then we can fill in all the gaps later.
Right now I am 16 days from my 30th birthday, an age that I used to think was OLD, and not just old like your 4 year-senior cousin, I mean ancient. When someone would say 30, I would think to myself, "Geez I never want to be 30, that means you are almost dead!" Now that I'm here, well almost, I don't feel any older than I did then. I feel more tired and not as silly or petty or self-consious or as emotional as I felt in my early 20s. I feel stronger; stronger in my decisions, stronger in my relationships, and stronger in my ability to do whatever it is I feel like doing. I have a relationship with my parents, a real, solid relationship. I mean who would of thought I would someday like my parents?!
I'm married to an amazing man that I actually knew in high school! Never saw that coming! Together we have 2 beautiful children - a 2 1/2 year old daughter and a 3 month old son. They fill my days and nights with more love than I ever knew possible.... but more on all of them later.
I work part time and get this, I actually love my job. Weird huh? When I was 21 I loathed getting up for work. I wished to win the lotto or to marry for money or something that would prevent me from the awfulness that work was. I took 2 years off with my daughter but as we all know, times are tough, so here I am, back in the work force and loving every minute - well maybe not EVERY minute lol
Hmmm... Maybe this 30 thing isn't so bad?

You may be close to 30, but you don't look a day over 25! xo
Oooh i like this whole writing thing... very good for the soul. You've always had a talent with a blank page and a pen. Am I'm seeing a poem or two thrown in here at some point? What about your relationship with your sisters? That will be a rather long and complex post huh? *wink* :)
