Thirty will rock my socks. Thirty will be amazing.

THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THIS POST IS TO SHARE A LITTLE ABOUT MY PERSONAL LIFE, WHICH IS ONE OF MY GOALS FOR THIS YEAR. LET'S START WITH MY THIRTIETH BIRTHDAY PARTY IN 2015. I LITERALLY JUST FOUND THESE PHOTOGRAPHS RANDOMLY AND FIGURED THIS WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE TO START WITH A PERSONAL POST.

THIRTY IS HERE...IT HAS BEEN FOR A YEAR NOW AND THIS YEAR I WILL BE 32. I SWEAR I DO NOT FEEL AS THOUGH 30 SHOULD BE HERE ALREADY. I STARTED MY TRUE CAREER SIX YEARS AGO AND I AM STILL LEARNING SO MUCH EVERYDAY ABOUT IT; WHICH MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A TWENTY SOMETHING STILL. THE ONLY THING REMINDING ME ABOUT MY THIRTIES IS THE BACK ACHES, WRINKLES AND REALIZING THAT I AM STARTED TO CALCULATE EVERY RISK I TAKE INSTEAD OF JUST MAKING THINGS HAPPEN LIKE I USED TO. I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING, I AM VEIN AND I DO NOT WANT TO AGE BECAUSE OF COSMETIC REASONS. WHILE THAT IS PARTLY TRUE...REALLY IT IS MUCH MORE. GROWING UP HAS ME FEELING ALL KINDS OF CONFLICTING THINGS. AM I AFRAID TO AGE? WELL YEAH, I DO NOT KNOW ANYONE THAT ISN'T A LITTLE SCARED OF IT. AM I EXCITED TO AGE? HECK YES!

THIS POST MAY END UP JUST CONFUSING YOU BUT JUST KEEP READING. I HAVE A SPONTANEOUS PERSONALITY THAT IS A BLESSING BUT ALSO A CURSE. IT GIVES ME THE BENEFITS OF RELAXING IN STRESSFUL SITUATIONS, THINKING ON THE FLY AND ALWAYS COMING UP WITH SOLUTIONS TO FIX PROBLEMS. IT CAN ALSO GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT I DO NOT TAKE LIFE VERY SERIOUSLY. WHAT I AM WORKING ON NOW IS TOTAL BALANCE: OF MY BUSINESS ENDEAVORS, WIFELY DUTIES, PARENTING MY CHILD WITH MY HUSBAND, AND STILL KEEPING THAT LITTLE PIECE OF BEFORE WIFE/KID ME THAT IS SLOWLY SLIPPING AWAY.

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I LIVED CAREFREE AND EVERYTHING I ACCOMPLISHED WAS WITH LITTLE PLANNING AND LOTS OF WINGING, WHICH WAS MY STONG SUIT. NOW THAT I AM GROWING INTO ANOTHER PHASE OF MY LIFE, LETTING GO AND WINGING IT IS GETTING HARDER TO DO, WHICH IS THE HARDEST PART FOR ME. I AM HAVING TO RETEACH MYSELF HOW TO ACCOMPLISH GOALS AND HOW TO RAISE MY BABY GIRL TO BE INDEPENDENT AND FLEXIBLE WHILE STILL KEEPING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR HER ACTIONS IN THE FOREFRONT. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. WHAT I CAN SAY, IS THAT MY HUSBAND IS THE TOTAL OPPOSITE OF ME. HE IS TOTALLY CALCULATED AND VERY GOOD WITH TIME MANAGEMENT. HE IS THE YING TO MY YANG. I HAVE RELIED ON HIM HEAVILY IN THE GROWTH OF MY BUSINESS AND HE HAS SUPPORTED ALL OF MY CRAZY WHIMS. IN ADDITION TO THIS, HE KEEPS MY DAYDREAMING RELEVANT AND GUIDES ME THOUGH MY MANY IDEAS (LIKE A ONE MILLION OF THEM PER DAY HAHA) TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE WELL PLANNED. I DO NOT THINK I WOULD BE ABLE TO STAND HERE TODAY WITHOUT HIM. I SOMETIMES WORRY THAT HE HELPS ME TOO MUCH, AND I AM NOT FULLY DEPENDENT ON MYSELF TO MAKE THINGS WORK. BUT TODAY I REALIZED, THIS IS WHAT WE ARE TOGETHER FOR; TO HELP EACH OTHER OVERCOME OUR WEAKNESSES AND GET STRONGER AS A UNIT.

I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS BLOG POST WILL HELP YOU OR NOT, BUT TO ALL MY GIRLS...YOU GOT THIS. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TO. YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL. YOU CAN BE A WIFE, A MOTHER AND A BUSINESS OWNER WHILE STILL HAVING TIME TO YOURSELF TO JUST BE YOU. MOST OF ALL, YOU CAN ENTER YOUR THIRTIES WITH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND KICK ASS AS YOU AGE. AGE IS A NUMBER AND AS I ENTER MY THIRTIES...I AM READY TO REALLY START LIVING LIFE TO IT'S FULL POTENTIAL. IT IS A WHOLE NEW WORLD FOR ME, AND I AM READY TO MAKE IT MINE.

TO CELEBRATE MY NEW FOUND LOVE FOR BEING THIRTY, I AM POSTING ALL OF THE LOVELY PICTURES FROM MY OLD AS DIRTY THIRTY PARTY AND I HOPE YOU LOVE IT. YES, I DID THROW A PARTY FOR MYSELF...BECAUSE I AM AWESOME.

ENJOY!

XOXO-THERESA
