I Laugh In The Face Of Thirty...Ha Ha Ha!

As my 30th birthday is quickly approaching, I have been reflecting on how to make this birthday a happy event as opposed to a scary event, as some of us may react when hitting a landmark birthday. For me turning 30 is just another day and I don't really feel as though I will act different or feel any older. I'm honestly hoping my 30's will be MUCH better then my 20's. My 20's were filled with sickness and frustration along with unanswered prayers and questions, or at least it felt that way most of the time. I mean my 20's were also wonderful. I lived in Italy for a month, my first nephew was born, I studied abroad to Norway and saw Midnight Sun, and I graduated from my Undergrad as well as Graduate School. During my 20's I moved from Utah to Minnesota, to Boston Massachusetts, back to Minnesota and then to Utah. I traveled further away from my life then IO had ever traveled before to a country that was completely unknown to me and traveled in that country by myself (i.e. Japan). I got my first grown up job and later bought a lawn mower (very grown up if you ask me!). So my 20's had some ups and downs and now comes my 30's. Here's what I'm hoping for: Better Health! Much more travel to places I have never been and further from my comfort zone then I have ever gone before, perhaps I can finally master a language (hint, Italian!)and I'd like to spend more time in Italy tracking down family history. I'm also hoping to continue in my spiritual goals I have made over the last couple years. So I've got some big plans for my 30's. It's May 4th and today I started my 30 day count down to my birthday (really it's 32 days but whateve's). To begin my 30's in style I have decided to start a little early in my goal of better health. So here's what's up: I am doing 30 miles in 30 days leading up to my 30th birthday. Today I ran a mile, tomorrow I will walk a mile. I'd like to have 30 miles under my belt by my birthday. I'm going to switch between biking, running, and walking. So I'll probably post every now and then during the next 32 days of my progress. Shoot me an email or text to encourage me, if you feel like it. I will need all the encouragement I can get! I also have some fun ideas for my birthday, so take that 30! I'm not scared of you! I shall be thirty and sexy, just you wait and see! Here's my fun list to do on my Birfday! Peace Out!
