How time flies!

Between my father's 64th B-day yesterday, the 25th anniversary of my granfdfather's death, and my birthday looming, it has been a time of reflection. I always thought I'd dread my thirties, but they have been the time of my life.

Since turning 30, I have...
Gotten engaged and married
Become a step-mom
Begun my *real* career, the one I always knew I was born to do
Re-connected with some friends I dearly missed
Worked in two industries that allowed me to really shine
Moved out of an apartment and into a townhouse
Became a property owner
Lost 75 pounds

Not too shabby for nearly six years of living!
