I am approaching the big 30 sadly this year. It feels strange as I still feel so young. I also feel like more is expected from you at 30. My life plan was for my 20's to be about travel, education and my career which I have done. So the next stage in my life is to find my true love, get married and have three kids. haha Scary thought! I definitely want that though and now I realise I've got to get my act together and do something about it.

I had been dating a lovely guy recently but due to family reasons he had to move away which has made me realise how much I enjoy having a partner in crime.r So my search continues...

Sarah :-)

Sarah, I know you are going to be just fine!  Don't be sad or anxious about turning 30, you have already achieved so much and it's safe to say your 30's will bring all kinds of good things into your life.  I don't know if you need to "do something about it", just stay open to the possibilities, plans don't always happen but wishes can come true.  Prayers can be answered.  Enjoy the present, pray for the future :)

Now somewhere in the Black Mountain Hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon,
And one day his woman ran off with another guy,
Hit young Rocky in the eye.
Rocky didn't like that
He said, "I'm gonna get that boy".
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon.

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room,
Only to find Gideon's Bible.
Rocky had come, equipped with a gun,
To shoot off the legs of his rival.
His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil,
But everyone knew her as Nancy.
Now she and her man, who called himself Dan,
Were in the next room at the hoe down.
Rocky burst in, and grinning a grin,
He said, "Danny boy, this is a showdown".
But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot,
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.

Now the doctor came in, stinking of gin,
And proceeded to lie on the table.
He said, "Rocky, you met your match".
And Rocky said, "Doc, it's only a scratch.
And I'll be better, I'll be better, Doc, as soon as I am able".

Now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room,
Only to find Gideon's Bible.
Gideon checked out, and he left it, no doubt,
To help with good Rocky's revival.

Aww thank you fishy! :-)

Haha Leon, yes the joys of being a teacher. Children say the most funniest things.

Sarah :-)

For MMC: :-)LV1(-O-:/// One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to the class. She came to the part where Chicken Little warns the farmer. She read, "...and Chicken Little went up the farmer and said, 'The sky is falling!'" The teacher then asked the class, "And what do you think that farmer said?" One little girl raised her hand and answered, "I think he said, 'Holy shit! A talking chicken!'" The teacher was unable to teach for the next ten minutes.  

  Sarah, I really like this picture of you in the white dress, your Beautiful!

   So anyway, if you do end up being a crazy cat woman, this old alley cat would love to curl up in your lap. Just comb my beard and I purr like a kitten :-]

Yes there is no way I'd settle for anyone who wasn't Mr Right. Just hope that Mr Right shows himself sooner rather than later. lol Otherwise I will just have to be  a crazy cat woman. ;-)

I guess you have to factor 20 to 25 years in for the emergency(childbearing-rearing). It is best over(the last grown), by 55, sooooooooooooooo... :-)LV1

I was alot happier about turning 31 this year then I was 30 last year

  Yes. The Big 30. I remember The Big 30 almost 30 yrs ago. I think keeping the 20's for yourself was a good move. You've answered your quest for travel somewhat. Having the 3 kids in therory is easy. Having the partner/father there for raising them seems to be the more difficult aspect.

  Hang on to what you've been keeping in mind for that kind of guy, he's out there for you. You've no need to spawn with just any fish in the spawning stream.
