10 years ago today I woke up to my last day in my 20's.
Today I woke up to my last day in my 30's.
10 years ago I was 6 months pregnant with my firstborn.
Today I have a 9 year old and a 7 year old.
10 years ago this week I traded my Mustang in for my "Mom Car".
Today that car has about 108K miles on it and I'm still driving it.
10 years ago I thought I knew (most of) what I needed to know to be a good parent.
Today I feel like I know less about parenting every day.
10 years ago travel plans were dictated only by vacation time.
Today all travel revolves around the school calendar (and a dog!).
I can't pretend to know what the next 10 years are going to hold but I know how fast these 10 years went and I can imagine:
10 years from now my firstborn will have finished his freshman year of college.
10 years from now my baby will be finishing up her Jr. year of high school and we'll likely spend at least part of the summer visiting colleges.
10 years from now my husband and I will be preparing for an empty nest.
Most of my 30's are a blur because they were spent raising young kids and I wouldn't trade that blur for sanity (most days). I'll be turning 50 before I know it so my goal for my 40's is to slow down and enjoy the ride.
