New Decade and 30 year old me

It is 2020 and I just turned 30 on 2/3/2020. I am ecstatic about my 30's but let's recap my 20's before we move forward.

So much has happened in my 29th year; I moved to San Diego (a place I have never thought I'd end up in), got engaged, made lots of new friends that I'm really really grateful for, and married the love of my life. Oh, and finally passed SIE in December. So definitely moved forward. My 20's were full of "one step forward and 2 steps backward's." I invested a lot of my time and money into building new friendships, upgrading my wardrobes instead of really looking at myself inwardly and developing myself from within. I am not saying all those years went to a waste but I made mistakes and want to make amends with them in my 30's. 

This year's theme word for me is, "ADVANCE."

My husband, Nick LOVES setting up new year's resolutions and he does stick to them. I, on the other hand, probably stuck it out for 3 days. SAD. But if God gave me one strength, that is resilience, my friends. I am like a roly poly. As sheltered as I've been raised, I still took all the challenges that came my way and made them mine. Whether it's moving to a country at 15 and thriving in high school, working 3 jobs and taking 18 credits, getting expelled from school and getting re-admitted and graduating and the list goes on. BUT usually I go out of my way to get myself into trouble first and prove my worth by getting out of them intact. 

Anyway, why am I starting this blog? Because I need to document my growth and I know nobody is going to read this. There are goals I set for myself; I want to advance/grow physically, spiritually, emotionally, professionally and financially.

I am excited to see where this goes.

random but this definitely was the happiest day of my life in 2010s.
Due to the overflowing joy, I gained 30 lbs after that. No Ragrats.
Well, just a little and we'll work on that from today onwards.
