I know that 30 is an age that often seems very intimidating and scary to turn. That hasn't been the case for me (yet). I wouldn't say that super excited to turn 30 either... but I am at peace with it. Trying my best to embrace it for sure!
My 20s were truly something. So much of this decade of my life was focused on pursuing my radio dreams. There were also educational goals met or exceeded, large geographic moves, new hobbies discovered, cherished friendships made, toxic friendships lost, dating struggles, finally meeting the love of my life, and so many flights and road trips to new destinations. And how can I forget some of my blogging accomplishments from the past decade, too! Today is also Southern Belle in Training's 12th birthday! I started this blog on my 18th birthday, and here we still are today.
Let's look ahead to the chapter that starts today. First and foremost, my 30s are going to be the decade that I become a wife!! Marriage is a mere two and a half months away, and I couldn't be more excited. This will also be the decade of home ownership, dog ownership (Ryan cannot wait!), and discovering and growing a new career path for myself. It is also likely to be the decade that Ryan and I begin a journey of parenthood, or at the very least explore the idea. We are on the same page that we don't feel ready to start a family too soon after getting married, but I will likely still be in my 30s when we are ready to think about that! This is really going to be such a big decade for a multitude of reasons. I'm also really interested to see where this blog goes in my 30s, and my social media presence in general! As long as writing here and creating social media content for myself remains fun, I'll keep doing it. And it's been fun for over a decade now, and still going strong!
The phrase "The Best is Yet to Come!" has never felt so true as it does today. I am hoping for a new decade of good health, love, laughter, and personal growth. And today is the first page!
