20 Years Later

Pushing Thirtyy ― This past weekend I was treated to a very special visit from an old friend  – a friend I had not seen in 20 years.  It is hard to believe that I am old enough to be able to say that, but in this day and age, reconnecting is easier than ever!... (more)

Don’t Treat Me Like Your Married Friend

Pushing Thirtyy ― Ever since I got an engaged, I have seen a change in the way people interact with me.  It’s almost as if I’m playing some sport and I just got traded to the other team — the “serious couples” team, the “married” team.  Typically,... (more)

A Few Good Men

Pushing Thirtyy ― I developed a very poor image of boys at a very young age.  Being boy crazy surely didn’t help, but I had a really hard time thinking I would ever meet a guy that would be as good to me as my father.  Classic Daddy’s girl, I know, but... (more)
