The Final Blog of My 30s!

The final blog of my 30s…what do I say? I don’t recall my first blog, it was probably 10 years ago in 2005. But I didn’t become an avid blogger until sometime in 2006. I was 31, then. I had a MySpace blog with 52,000 readers…haha. It was fun for a few years.

I rarely blog anymore. I do sometimes post Facebook notes on my personal page, formulated like a blog with photos & info, but designed for a less public audience. Anyway, this is it! Tomorrow, I turn 40!!! My last blog of my 30s...haha!

40, it sounds officially 100% grown-up. Although I do I feel that "seasoned reason" settling into my bones, I'm still very youthful. I embrace that. But I am also embracing life in the slower-lane. I used to tell Jacob that maturity is like playing a video game, once you get through a certain level, you go on to the next. You earn it. So, I’ve earned these 40 years.

I had my childhood, teenage years, 20, & 30s. It’s time for another level. And after all of my medical issues, all the traedy that I've lived through, I really feel good about making it this far. There were many days that I almost didn't. Each day is a gift. Let's open it up!!!

My parents looked like hippies.

Cowgirl Up!

My Grandma was so mad that I showed my butt to the whole mall.

My XENA days...oh, wow.

Move over, Belle Starr! ;)

My theatre days in college.

Behind-the-scenes of a Ray Ban commercial.

Welcome to the Jungle! (This is too much...)

I was a hillbilly. Still am.

I always loved shimmer.

PS

These are pics from my #40Yearsin40Days project on Facebook. Maybe a few others...anyway, it has been an unbridled ride! I'm ready to make my 40s the best yet!
