Tomorrow is my birthday
I turn 29. I'm really the last of my friends to leave their 20s and I'm not even officially leaving them yet. :/ Not that I'm in a hurry to reach 30- I'm just waiting for "older and wiser" to descend on me like buttered rum.
It has been an undoubtedly difficult several years and also the most precious as I've become a mom over and over and watched Finn grow. I have a lot to celebrate, but yet the whole idea of another birthday makes me a bit antsy. How do you mark a year passing? My existentialism goes into overdrive on this one.
I think perhaps one of the best ways to mark a turn in time this year is that I signed up for a CREDIT class at BCC. Wow. I even went to campus and got my textbook. Bring it. I'm ready. Finn is in part-time daycare and I'm ready to get these pre-reqs done with and see if I really do want to pursue a masters or PhD.
It feels like my first big move in nearly 3 years... that has nothing to do with my family or Finn. That is not to say I don't love them, just that it feels good for it to be something really just about me and no one else. Now let's just hope I pass. ;) It feels like a new direction, a breeze, something difficult to throw myself on and yet completely uncomplicated for the time being.
So, 29, I toast you... err... on Saturday. Show me what you got and let it be the best stuff.
