man i know it probably sounds crazy but i'm so stoked to be turning 29 next week. i know i'm going to enjoy it while it lasts and i'm really looking forward to 30. i'm not going to wish my life away by any means but i'm certainly going to be glad to have my 20's all behind me.
i feel like 29 should be like the last chapter of a book, the climax has already occurred and essentially the author is going through and tying up the loose plot ends and polishing off how the protagonist handles the ending. leaving the reader with a nice sense of closure and satisfaction from the whole experience.
my 20's had such chaos going on, between great and terrible relationships and constantly moving back and forth across the country, now that i'm back in nebraska with 3 kids and working it seems like this would normally be the point where their would be some cliche like 'and they all lived happily ever after...'
i do have a feeling, however, that instead of a nicely polished ending this is going to end up being a cliff hanger that turns into some trilogy. living in nebraska or not, life isn't over yet, and i'm more than sure that 29 will lead to choices and adventures that aren't going to allow for an ending, let alone a story book one.
so here's to 29, and all the adventures to come. and although not necessarily happily, may it always be happier ever after.
