This thread really gave me a pick-me-up that I needed. Listening to all of you say how much you enjoy the age you are at is wonderful. I'm 29 and will be turning 30 this October. I'm having a hard time with it. It just feels like I've been twenty something forever and I've taken that for granted. I know I'm not going to explode or anything when I hit 30, but it just feels like it's the end of something. My husband is 15 years older than me so he doesn't sympathize at all. :)
