Bring on the 30s...

OK, so I have been in my 30s now for 3 days. Here are a few differences I have seen so far:

1-The latest I have been to bed since I turned 30 is 10:15-yeah I am serious. But I have been awakened by very sick kids around 1 am and had to stay awake with them, so maybe I cannot call it on this one yet-maybe the going to bed early has more to do with lack of sleep, and less to do with age?!

2-I have been sick. My whole 30s better not be like this.

3-I am pretty sure I have a significantly larger number of wrinkles. See:

(Obviously I also go a snazzy new hat!)

But on a positive note:

I do not have to have another birthday where I change decades for 10 more years!

I am now old enough that the fact I am not up on current trends and fashion is not only OK, but expected.

I am still married to a man in his 20s-what a cradle robber!

I have heard a couple things about being 30 like:

"Thirty, flirty & thriving"...well, I am 30 and thriving I guess...

"Thirty is the new twenty." no, no it is not...

I want to note that when we moved to Nebraska the first time, we had a friend turn 30, and we went to a surprise party for him. I remember thinking that he was so old. I also remember that pretty much every present he received had something to do with Viagra. So, I guess I can just be glad I am not a guy and I did not get any Viagra.

Oh and once again-thanks Andrea and Ashley for marrying guys older than me so I did not have to be the first 30-yr-old in either family!

But, all that being said, I am getting over the fact that my 20s are officially over, and I do take some solace in the fact that all my friends that might otherwise harass me are also approaching this milestone so they are note quite so harassing. And now all there is to say, it bring it on 30s-bring it on!!!
