Last day of my 20’s

So today is the last day of my 20’s. That’s right, I’m the big 3-0 tomorrow!!

Honestly, 30 is not what I thought it would be. I’m pretty sure I had a skewed sense of 30…based on the fact that the only 30 year olds I knew for the longest time were on TV. I haven’t done a few things that I thought you just HAD to do by the time you were 30, but that’s not true. What I have done, is WAY better.

I’ve run 3 marathons, visited (and stayed in) 6 different countries, jumped out of an airplane, learned to ski, went parasailing, sledded down a volcano, seen Indian and African elephants in their natural habitats, gotten my Doctorate, went hot air-ballooning, hiked 2 14ers – Mt. Elbert and Pike’s Peak, hiked a 19er – Mt. Kilimanjaro, ran a half marathon in another country, taken a space-A flight, served in the military, and so much more!

The last day of my 20’s, I went snowmobiling for the first time! It was AWESOME! I got stuck within the first 15 minutes, but it’s necessary, then you aren’t afraid to go a little crazy anymore. I got some good jumps in, hit 40mph, saw elk and moose. It was great.

We are in Utah right now. Never been here before. We’ll be back to get an activity bib, but for now we are skiing and enjoying the snow and mountains. I’ve said it before but I’m saying it again, I’m so much more a mountain girl than a beach girl.

I’m excited for 30. I’m excited for my 30’s. I hope to keep taking life by the reigns and experiencing new adventures. I want to share it all with you, so Mike put together this awesome website for the BOTH of us to tell you our story. I hope you find humor in our different views, I hope you learn from our experiences, but most importantly, I hope you’re motivated to do the things you never thought possible.
