so tomorrow i will turn 29. it was painful to type that. it's my last year of my 20's. it just doesn't seem like I should be that old...yet i feel like i've lived alot of life...if that makes any kind of sense. Just for a brief history....when i was a teenager i wanted to be 20 or in my early 20's just so I could say "Well 20 years ago i remember..." well now that i can do that and have done so often it's not as fun as i had imagined. then when i actually turned 20 it was so difficult for me...28 was also a little difficult b/c that's late 20's. 25 was good b/c i really felt like an adult...i was a bit more responsible and understood myself ALOT more. i've taken the classes...i know "they" say a woman is in her prime in her 30's but it's 30. I know logically it's not old, i'm glad i have a year to prepare for being 30.
i decided to make a 30 before 30 list to just add a little to my last year in my 20's. I have asked others for suggestions and finally have the created list. now, it's not necessarily a list of new things to do...just some things. if i had more money i would put more travelling on there.
here it is:
30 before 30 list
1. eat catfish
2. go to comic con 2011

Grace peace and love
