And the big switch happens. Today.

Dear 30,

Whoa. See that. Dear 30.​ Can't believe we're writing to a new year that starts with a new number. Wild. As far as birthdays go this feels like a big one. Outta town guests rolling in from Denver, Muskie and Minnesota. Folks lacing up bowling shoes for a party in a mall (you read that right) and the keys to the new digs dangling from my key ring. What a grown up day of celebration. Add to that the fact that I write this post on a new, official site and I feel very adult. (Said "ah-dult" because that's how 30 year olds pronounce it.)

​This is not us now. This is in Keystone when we were 27 or 28. Now we're all 30. Once we took pictures together when we were all 10. 

​I don't really feel much different than I did yesterday, honestly. I have a pretty aching back, which is either from sleeping on the couch, or being newly 30. When I really think about it, a lot has and will change in the next few weeks. Thanks to everyone for reading the 29 wrap up and being such loyal (a few of you read what I write all the time and you are my favorites) readers of the old site. In my 30th year there'll be a few change up moments on this new site, but basically it'll be, as it once was, a place to document a year, a place to spill out thoughts, and a way to mark my progress on the list. Speaking of, check out THIRTY. I'm going to go back to celebrating the start of a new decade. Maybe make some cupcakes. Or build a budget. You know, something a thirty-year-old would do on her day off.
