Today is the last day of my 20's...Here are my discoveries
I got married when I turned twenty...therefore my entire 20's have been with my husband Darrin. I had several people think I was too young to be married at 20, I am sure they felt I missed out on living independently in the real world. But as for me, I have never been one to want to live independently. In High School I wouldn't even go through the drive-thru by myself. It's a complete compliment to my husband when I say that my twenties were FULL of excitement, life, adventure, discovery and more!
I had 4 kids in my 20's...Am I one of those mothers that wanted all of her kids by the time she turned 30? No. I never personally had that goal, but I guess that is what happens when you are on what I call the fast track (kids spaced 2 years apart). I will admit some days I have questioned our spacing, but they're only moments of chaos, and then things always seem to calm down, till it starts back up! This is a no brainer, I would have never done this differently.
I discovered 30 isn't that old...There is no reason to regret, wish different and hope for changes with the life I have had so far. I have loved and learned from all of it. All the different cities we've lived in I've learned something from. All the friends I've met along the way I have learned valuable lessons from and cherish all of those people. And even with all this "Life Experience" I am still a Spring Chicken!
Bring it on...I've loved each and every year of my 20's, the ups the downs, and the flat roads too. I don't regret any of it, I don't wish I could change any of it, because then I may not be here, where I am now, writing about the love I've had for them. So 20's you were good to me, and I thank you, but I just want to tell my 30's BRING IT ON, I'm ready for you!!
