Re: QOTD: Did you. . .

No not really. At 30 I was the only one of my friends not married and/or didn't have children. I was solidly single and pretty sick of it.

I decided to throw a party at my house. "To heck with it", I said... just because I didn't have a s/o to throw me a party like so many of my GF's did. It was low key, mostly the girls and we had a blast!! Once every one moves away and has kids it's a lot harder to GTG all in one place.

Re: QOTD: Did you. . .

i went to dinner with dh (fh at the time) my parents and siblings,, my fil's and my aunt and 2 cousins. it was a fun night.

Re: QOTD: Did you. . .

Moved to LA- six months before my 30th- I was unmarried, no boyfriend and a job I hated. Had to bale....

Re: QOTD: Did you. . .

I'm turning 30 next month and I didn't have any set goals to achieve BY that day, but I have a lot of personal goals that I'd like to achieve this year...

I have already started with change of eating habits, trying to work out, stuff like that...

Getting into new hobbies

I'm also making it a habit to get to the doctor/dentist regularly (I've been so bad with this)...

Just simple things - change in habits, I want to become more "grown up" if that makes sense, lol.

Re: QOTD: Did you. . .

I can't answer for 30, but I'm turning 25 in 2 weeks.

There's a lot I wanted to be/have by 25. I don't have all of it. I wanted to lose a bunch of weight, that didn't happen, but I did finally get ym blood tests done to figure out what's wrong.

I graduated college, and I'm already at a point in my career where I get called for jobs a lot more than I have to send out resumes and seek them out..however the realities of life might make me have to move on to a "real" job for awhile. I have a lot going on, and I know 25 is definitely bringing about big changes in my life. I'm really more aware than ever before that I'm not a teenager anymore, and I have to be the person I want to be

Re: QOTD: Did you. . .

Dh had a small surprise party for me, as far as life changes, I had done everything I wanted to do with my life before turning 30 plus one child, lol.

I did decide from that point forward that I was going to focus on what makes me happy and not what makes others happy besides my family. I have really begun to realize my true friedns and who's garbage I will no longer put up with. I also decided that I would do what I wanted to do in my free time instead of what I felt obligated to do. I try to take time for me and I feel great about it.

Re: QOTD: Did you. . .

I had a party (nothing crazy, backyard bbq) and was supposed to get engaged I later found out. DH was so upset, my ring was supposed to be ready and it wasn't. But, I did get engaged a week later. It was definitely what I wanted for my 30th!!!

Re: QOTD: Did you. . .

My 30th b day was not too nice, my dad was very sick in the hospital and passed a month later, so I have to say no, my 30th was very depressing. I was glad ( in a sad type of way) I was there for my dad and would not change a thing . I lost both parents by the age of 30. I did reflect after and see how I can make my life more positive... sorry to be a downer here- it had to be one of the lowest points in my life then.

Re: QOTD: Did you. . .

I think my biggest decision when I turned 30 this year was to go back to school and I did it.

Re: QOTD: Did you. . .

I would like to do something, but my 30th is 2 weeks after I give birth. I doubt I'll be up to doing anything.

Re: QOTD: Did you. . .

Dh bought me a 4ct diamond tennis bracelet!!! He said it was either jewelry or a party - BOY am I glad I chose JEWELRY!!!

Re: QOTD: Did you. . .

I kind of meant you know the year you turned 30, right after or right before...

did you feel compelled to do anything different?

like when I turned 21 I realized I was too much of a goody-goody and didn't get "crazy" in hs or college so I smoke pot (woohoo) got and eyebrow ring (lasted 3 months) and put the brakes on graduating school early (took one class september of senior year)
BEST THING I EVER DID!!!

I am 29. I was married at 25, had a baby at 28, and a house at 29...
isn't this a milestone? or is 40 the new 30?

Re: QOTD: Did you. . .

I was just about to say for me 40 is the new 30.

I turned 30 3 months after I got married - went away for the weekend, but did not feel like I had to do something different with my life or change anything.

It was not a milestone birthday for me.
