New Job, turning 30, and Life

Am I like the world's worst blogger? I keep disappearing for months at a time and then kick myself in the butt for not documenting our life.

I've been at the new job for a month and a half now. I accepted an offer and said no to MBA for now. The whole interviewing for this job was a very long and tedious process. At one point I was pissed that they took so much of my time and kept calling/scheduling for more one on one and group talks.
4 interviews, 1 phone interview, 1 test, and background check later I was offered a position. I felt like I was getting a position at the CIA office. Anyways, I thought long and hard and at the end accepted the offer. It is been interesting and at times awkward. I am not a very social person and don't really like to meet/chat around the office and to make small talk. But with the new job you can't really escape out of it. I've felt out of place many times already since a lot of employees have known each other for years already and I am the new girl. Just like high school all over again :)

I've turned 30 last week. 30 years old. Man, it sounds old. When I was in my twenties 30 seemed like so far away. People in their thirties looked so mature and seemed like most of them got their shit together. I've heard a lot of people say how they loved turning 30 and experience their best years (apparently the best years are the 30s now). But I honestly think they are lying. I was a bumped the night before my bday. Thirty means I am getting older. I've entered the 4th decade of my life. My baby girl is growing up. My husband who is 7 years older then me is nearing his 40s. My parents are getting older too. See, all those things make me sad. But this is life, right?

Anyways, I've decided just to host a dinner at the nice restaurant with all of my close friends. And that is exactly what we did. It was awesome. The food and ambiance were great. I've enjoyed talking to each and every one of my guest. I've known most of the people for over 10 years. We've made some great memories together. I loved how random old stories popped up into the conversation.

The husband is again heading downhills right now. He had his good moments a few months back where he felt almost like himself. But now, his hands are hurting again and we are starting the accupuncture all over again. I hope his bad days will be over soon and he'll be feeling better.

Our baby girl is still in daycare. We enrolled her in a new gymnastics class. She needs to get used to it but she tells us she only wants to go there now. We also enrolled her in a Russian school a few weeks ago. She'll be attending a 45 minute class on Sunday morning where she'll learn rhymes, alphabet, logic, and other great things.

This is what life is all about lately. As I always say, I'll try to update my blog more frequently.
