Thirty-one lines on turning thirty-one: I turned twenty-one 10 years ago! TEN. YEARS. Where do the days go? I have to say though, the last 10 years have been amazing. I like how turning 21 kick started the party-phase of my life and now at 31 I’m getting married which closes that chapter. A wise man once said “every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end” Everything “older people” used to say came true. Time does start speeding up. Your metabolism starts slowing down. Dinner and a movie and getting into pajamas at 9pm on a weekend night is the best. It’s funny now, going out with friends and having everyone start yawning and getting sleepy at 10pm. I love it, though. Game nights are fun! But going out dancing and reliving your glory years can be fun, too. In moderation. I love that most of my best friends are all paired off and living cute lives together with houses and dogs. Can’t believe I’m the first of this inner circle to get married though. I have to believe that the dominoes are going to start falling next year. But I’ve been saying that for a couple of years now. (Seriously guys, if you need advice on getting engaged, holler. It’s not that scary, I promise.) I really can’t wait to be married. Our rings are ready to be picked up and I’m seriously bummed that I can’t wear mine for another 3 months. (102 days to be precise.) I really can’t find anything to complain about. Life is great. I get to go home and sleep next to the most amazing woman who does incredibly cute things every day that make me fall that much more in love. I GET TO MARRY THAT WOMAN. I have a job I like in an industry that’s not going anywhere and it’s positioning me well for the future. Everyone says this, but I really do have the best friends. Sorry everyone else’s friends. Even though I have a serious five-head, I still have a lot of hair on my head! I don’t worry about getting older like I used to in my twenties. Everything just seems to get more awesome! Everything I’ve learned and experienced up to this point just leads me to the conclusion that the best really is still yet to come.
