Yep, it’s true. One month from today I will be thirty years old and I have decided to own it. Thirty is not going to scare me- I have and always will be young at heart.
The advantage of having friends older than you is that you can ease in to your new age. My friend Marc turned thirty in August and he is same old Marc and my best friend has been rocking the big three oh since December. To help with the transition I have been thinking of myself as 30 since January 1- so much so that last week when a student asked my age I had to stop and think before I answered!
30 seems big and I guess it is but I have decided to be okay with it, besides, I know lots of cool people in their 30′s and beyond (and just imagine how old they feel that I will soon be out of my 20′s). I am looking forward to the new chapter in my life that this decade brings and who knows, maybe I’ll run for the Senate now that I’m eligible!
You know who’s really old? Jeff. Yeah, that should put a smile on your face : ) I can’t wait for your birthday!! Yay!

Yes, Alex, I have. It will be your loss.
Several years ago Alex and I decided that we wouldn’t speak during the six months of the year that I was thirty and he was twenty two- for some reason this made sense and we are sticking to it. I’m not worried.

Thirty isn’t old…for a tree. I remember 30. Well, actually, I don’t.
You rock, just like your ‘rents
