On this last
day in my 30s, I was thinking about how I feel about turning the big 4-0! I
have mixed feelings about entering a new decade. Mostly, I am wondering where
the last decade went. I was a new mother when I turned 30 and the past decade,
in part, feels like a blur. Three babies and a lack of sleep will do that, I suppose! It
was an exciting, challenging, and sometimes painful 10 years.
Many things
happened in my 30s that I expected and planned and am so grateful to have in my
life. Three amazing babies who are healthy, smart, beautiful and full of life.
I am married to my best friend and still look forward to sharing our life together. I was
able to travel and experience so many amazing things. I am truly lucky!
Looking back, some things took me by surprise. If you asked me
a decade ago, I never would’ve imagined running for office let alone being elected to
office at the age of 33! I am able to be a voice for children and families
which I love doing. I started my own company and have the flexibility to work and do
all those mommy things I want to do. I am still on the hunt for my dream job but
I love where life is leading me right now.
Certainly, I
never expected to go through the pain of losing my sister. Watching my parents
suffer through this loss has been the most difficult challenge of the past
decade. Hands down. It has made me stronger though. This loss made me stop and reflect and
focus on my own happiness and doing what’s best for my family.
Looking ahead, I am so excited for all the next decade has to offer! A little nervous but very excited!
