Girl’s Life

I’m back from my birthday trip up the coast. Back to reality. Back to my life of diapers and snot-nosed kisses and hilarious toddler conversations about penguins and horsies and scary monsters. I loooved getting away for a few days with Chris, but I love even more being back home with my little family.

A few days of B&B relaxing, wine tasting and beach strolling can do wonders for a stressed out soul. It can take you outside of yourself and remind you how great life really is. But a word to the wise: never return to work on a busy Wednesday after being in relax-mode for the few days prior. Talk about a wake-up jolt to the system — all 78 emails and 13 voicemails.

My three days of being 30 have been pretty good so far. Of course, I’m infinitely wiser than I was a couple days ago. Ha — right. I wish I had such luck. I’m still the same, trying to figure out life with everyone else. But what has changed about me is that besides being uber contemplative about this new decade, I’m mostly really excited. Excited because of what’s to come. Chris is on the verge of a cool new job. Sophia is learning mad skills every day. And I just talked my way into a fancy new camera and am ready to take my photography obsession hobby to the next level.

I’m thinking 30 isn’t going to be so bad. But even so, I could still use a glass of wine. Cheers!
