30 things I learned in my 20’s

My 20’s were a dannnnng good run. I met Jon, we sold our house, we had 3 beautiful baby boys, we sold a business, started a couple more + are currently desiging (for the second time) our dream home! I love the life I live. ABSOLUTELY every shape of the way, love my life. Love where my heart is headed + love who I am becoming.

    Soooooo here’s to turning 30! I weirdly feel a new maturity, a weight off my shoulders, “leveling up” as Kelsee would say!  If my 20’s made me who I am, my 30’s are where I get to thrive!Knomsayin?  Stoked to explore my new skin – – –  orrr old skin, however you wanna look at it.
