Today I turned 30. Yes, hard to believe. Farewell twenties.
As I reflected for about 5 minutes while singing the girls to sleep tonight I came to a few realizations.
I never imagined myself in this place at age 30. And by "this place" I mean with two beautiful girls and one little guy due to arrive in a few weeks. I also never thought I'd be the happiest I've ever been in my life. I never planned on those things. What I did plan on was completing a master's degree by age 30, perhaps running a few more marathons, and working in a few trips abroad for fun along the way.
All of those things don't matter anymore. What does matter is my family and that is really the only thing that means anything to me. My twenties were good to me, but I'm really looking forward to my thirties.
