I have been 30 for a month now, I am not sure if I am just lucky or if I have a different outlook on things. However, being 30 years old has in many ways changed me. I feel more empowered, settled, content, and happy. When I reflect back on my 20's, I recall all of the years I was trying to find myself, establish a career, find a mate, start a family, and figure out who my friends were and how I fit in. Now I can answer all of those questions. Perhaps, it has nothing to do with turning 30 and has everything to do with trusting God and putting my faith in Him. Don't get me wrong, my life is not perfect and I do have bad days just like the rest of the world. However, I wake up each morning telling myself it is going to be a good day. I don't sweat the small or petty stuff and I ask God for help with the big stuff. As I continue my adventure in my 30's, I pray that God protects my family and that we continue to live for Him.

May the rest of my 30's be as awesome as the first month! ~ Jaime

Jeez, you're getting old ;) Just remember, some of us have been in our 30's for a few years now--and it actually gets better :)
I think you always knew who you were deep down............you just had to find " others " to live for.
I couldn't be more proud of my "baby".
