Almost 30

So tomorrow is my birthday and for the first time that I am actually feeling like OMG  i'M almost 30!!!

I am very proud of how far I have come in life. I have a wonderful family!  I love what I do teaching!!!  I couldn't be happier in my relationship!!!  So blessed and lucky to have a wonderful husband.  I found this post the other day online and it got me thinking of something I need to start cracking down on lol!! So if you are getting close or you are thirty it may be neat to think about and funny.

By 30, you should have ...

1. One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you’ve come.   (eh don't have anyone I'd like to go back to!  But I know one that reminds me of how far I've come!  So blessed with the awesome husband I have)


2. A decent piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family.
(I have a sectional that I bought all by myself! So Yes I do have furniture that no one in my family has owned!!!)


3. Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour.
(I love clothing so that I think I have down!)

4. A purse, a suitcase, and an umbrella you’re not ashamed to be seen carrying.
Oh man def got a purse and got about seven umbrellas that I love!)

5. A youth you’re content to move beyond.
(def after loosing all this weight I'm def content with moving on with the person I use to be)

6. A past juicy enough that you’re looking forward to retelling it in your old age.
(I think I have some good stories!!!)

7. The realization that you are actually going to have an old age -- and some money set aside to help fund it.
(def need to work on retirement!! Being a military wife and teaching all over the place it's hard!)

8. An email address, a voice mailbox, and a bank account -- all of which nobody has access to but you.
(yes all ove the above!)

9. A résumé that is not even the slightest bit padded.
(can def say that my resume is not padded...shoot maybe I need to lol)

10. One friend who always makes you laugh and one who lets you cry.
(oh def have a few lately who do this!! My husband and Abel def do both)

11. A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra.
(I have a cordless drill and black lace bra...guess I need a set of screwdrivers that are just mine)

12. Something ridiculously expensive that you bought for yourself, just because you deserve it.
(This is something I do not have....I'm not smeone who goes and spends big money...so I need to do that! ha...I wonder what they consider expensive)

13. The belief that you deserve it.
(I have def learned that I deserve it! Life is too short!)

14. A skin-care regimen, an exercise routine, and a plan for dealing with those few other facets of life that don’t get better after 30.
(skin care regimen ehhh no I don't, exercise yes I believe I do.....hahah there is always plastic surgery lol)

15. A solid start on a satisfying career, a satisfying relationship, and all those other facets of life that do get better.
(def have a solid career that I love but def would love to get a masters and move up.....counseling is something I'm really interested in...Satisfying relationship!!!  Check plus there!  Married my best friend!!

By 30, you should know ...
1. How to fall in love without losing yourself.
(This is a goal of mine to always remain myself!  If anything Ryan has brought out the best out of me!)

2. How you feel about having kids.
(this topic has been coming up ...everyone has been asking us!! We haven't even been married for a year....maybe in a couple of years)

3. How to quit a job, break up with a man, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship.
(yep def know how to quit a job, break up with a man but don't need to know that anymore,, def know how to confront a friend without a ruining it but my best friend and I have never gotten in a fight)

4. When to try harder and when to walk away.
(def know when to try harder...could work on knowing when to just walk away)

5. How to kiss in a way that communicates perfectly what you would and wouldn’t like to happen next. (hahah I think I do)

6. The names of the secretary of state, your great-grandmothers, and the best tailor in town.
(yes just not a tailor in town!!!  I need one)

7. How to live alone, even if you don’t like to.
(this one I know very well... going through a deployment I had to live alone it sucked but it can be done)

8. Where to go -- be it your best friend’s kitchen table or a yoga mat -- when your soul needs soothing. (def...in my car listening to music and in the gym)

9. That you can’t change the length of your legs, the width of your hips, or the nature of your parents.
(learning to have to embrace that I will always have big hips no matter how much weight I loose!!  I love my parents and in laws... I love the weird and crazy parts of them)

10. That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it’s over.
(yes, my childhood was awesome!  Minus my dad leaving me my mom created the best life I could have imagin!  My family is incredible)

11. What you would and wouldn’t do for money or love.(yep!)

12. That nobody gets away with smoking, drinking, doing drugs, or not flossing for very long.
( hahah but we can try lol... I hate to floss!!)

(I think I learn this everday...and even after thirty I will learn this!)

14. Not to apologize for something that isn’t your fault.(do this alot sometime...getting better_

15. Why they say life begins at 30 (we shall see when I get there)


All this got me thinking!  I guess age is just a number!!!  I will pretent like I'm 21 till im 70 then to heck with that...I'm going to be Paula Deen and make everything with butter and not care about anything!

PLEASE HELP ME!

New Years Resolutions have become what we call a joke these days!  I have one and I would like you to help me with it!  Facebook to me has become a page where everyone complains, argues about stupid shit or just stirs up drama!  I would like to change it for me!  My new year resolution is about finishing things that I want to do in life!  My main goal this year is to do a five k...I know many of you who would say that is cake! Some might say heck no I hate running!  I hate running with all of my life!  I have  a friend who has done 6 marthons!!!  That to me is so amazing!!!!!  She's also very fit and trained hard to do it!  Go Maria Go! 


My resolution is to create a team of people who are my friends to do a 5k together in San Antonio...if people want to do it in Pensacola I will do two!  We would do a 5k in the summer in San Antonio as a team!  For those who hate running and are beginers and think hell no!! Know that I hate to run!  Second this is a team thing where we will all go the slowest person pace!  If you are someone who says oh gosh I can do that in my sleep...its a chance for you to be inspiration to someone and to do something positive!  I'd like to create the page with a team name!  Everyweek we would have goals ....for example...jog a mile without stopping... then post the pic!  Shoot even I started my training pic of you on the tredmil or just outside jogging

The facebook page would bring together people from all ages and all fitness levels!  It's a place to post inspiration goals!  To work as a team for a common goal!  It would also have people come together and bring each other up instead of the mess that happens on a daily bases on facebook!

This is not a weightloss page but a page to finish something!  Getting together with people to say hey I'm worth fighting for my life and getting fit!

You may wonder what is inspiritation for this page!  People tell me from time to time you are so positive how do you get yourself in the gym!  I tell them people inspire me!!!  That big girl in the gym who is embarassed and is in the gym going at it!  Tells my legs to run faster that I can do it! 
My biggest inspiritation is that I have always said I wanted to do this!  I also make excuses!!!  Excuses equal failure!!!  I figure if I have a team "a family" that I can do it!  You can do it too!!

So for all of you out there!! The woman who just had a baby and wants to get fit!  For you who use to be fit and have started being a bum!!!!  For the person who is a beast in the gym and can climb ropes!  Please join this group!  Let's change our lives!  Shoot change your life! 

SO IF YOU CAN HELP ME WITH MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION THEN COMMENT ON MY FACEBOOK !!  SAY I'M IN!!!
