Embracing the big 3-0!

Some people dread turning the big 3-0. I am not one of them. Maybe it is because I do not spend my time dwelling on the perceived bad things that come with 30. Instead I choose to look at all the great things that come with turning 30. It helps me to embrace 30 instead of dread it. Although today is my last day of my 20's, I am blogging about this today because my Mr. has the whole day planned out tomorrow, and I am unsure of what it entails other than dinner. I will have to post that  Saturday! So here's to 30!

So here is my List.....the 30 best things about turning 30:
