CHEERS! Today is the day I’m turning 30 on March 30th- my golden birthday! There has been a lot of build up to this year, this milestone, and honestly, I have such mixed emotions. I can’t believe that I’m ACTUALLY THIRTY years old- what the heck…where did the time go!?? And also- SO EXCITED for what’s to come! People tell me all the time that their 30’s were some of the best years of their lives and I hope that is true. There is so much I want to do, see, accomplish in this next decade which makes me so eager to enjoy and soak it all in 
After looking back at my 28th birthday where I shared 28 things you may not know about me, and my 29th birthday where I wrote about 29 things I learned in my 20’s… today’s blog post is dedicated to 30 THINGS THAT BRING ME JOY 🙂 You girls know I’m all about being positive and keeping this space a joyful and happy one, so I figured it was perfectly appropriate to ring in a new decade by celebrating J-O-Y! Here we go (in no particular order):
- My health and the ability to work out
- The blogging opportunities I’ve been given and milestones I’ve achieved through hard work
- NBR hair extensions
- Technology- cameras, computers, airplanes, phones, cars, and much more
- Sunshine and the ocean
- Growing up and still living in Santa Barbara- a dream town
- My gold Tiffany’s initial necklace I wear every day and never take off because it reminds me of my parents never ending support and my hard work
- Bright colors
- Smiles and laughter from my 2nd grade students
- A cozy white bedroom space
- Quality friendships over quantity
- Agolde shorts that flatter everybody
- Freedom to live my life how I please, day in and day out
- All of YOU that are here on a daily basis (thank you)
- My positive attitude and outlook on life
- Amazon prime (can I get a hallelujah!?)
- Peanut butter is my love language
- Cute babies that smile and are dressed adorably
- Kind and respectful people
- The world and all of the beautiful places it offers for travel and exploration
- Coffee (and all the espresso)
- Thinking about my life-changing solo Hawaii trip
- Lululemon align leggings
- Being an introverted extrovert (balance)
- Having a clean and washed car
- Pancake brunch (or cinnamon rolls) after a sweaty workout
- Sunsets at the beach
- The smell of fresh rain and Christmas trees in December
- Mexican food including all the guac and skinny margs
- Cuddling 🙂
I could probably go on and on about everything that brings me joy, but to sum it up, I’m feeling PRETTY DANG GRATEFUL. Grateful for a beautiful life and grateful for a new decade waiting for me to conquer it and live it up! Cheers friends!
