It is funny how life kind of laughs at your plans, isn't it? I was dead-set against ever getting married. I expected to go for a PhD in bio. And here I am married and headed for nursing school, and I'm totally happy with it.

It seems like everyone we know is going to nursing school, I'm certain you'll do extremely well. It's nice to know you're happy, I wish we got to see you more.

30 is just a number.

(Though I have been told it is the number that often corresponds with the body starting to actually age.)

But, most importantly, as you say, "Life doesn't give a damn about plans. Life just happens, and I'm better for it."

And now I'm going to cry. I just can't decide if it's because my body is already aging, or because it will very soon. Maybe I'll just go with it.
