Maybe I'm weird, but I'm excited for my 30s. I turn 29 in less than a month.
With my current plan, I'll be eyeballs-deep in my teaching program when I turn 30. My hope is that the economy will improve so I will be able to find employment (though middle school jobs don't seem too hard to find
). My husband will either be gainfully employed or working on his Master's.
As I see it, my relationship with my husband can only get deeper and more intimate, more wonderful as time goes on, and so for me, that is a huge thing to look forward to.
And what I'm really excited about will disgust 9er, but I'll share anyway: kids. I see us establishing our family in our 30s.
I guess one thing that helps is that I don't physically feel any older than I did when I was 20. That's kind of sweet.
