i can't believe i just reviled my age to everybody, but it's out there now so i'm going with it! and honestly, i've loved my 30s! i feel like i've accomplished alot. i started dating the sweetie, got married, started my graphic design business, had a child, moved half way across country and started my photography business. So yeah, the 30s have been good to me!! AND i still have two more years left!!
