Fuck us for "learning things on our own terms." Young people, I swear!!!

Something really important that I've learned, from blogging, the gym, and self reflection is that taking care of yourself really isn't optional and you're so right about the bikini. It's really about the whole picture. I am so much happier as a person, and as a wife now. I trust my husband and our relationship, because I am confident in myself. Health and happiness go hand in hand, looking good in a bikini is just an added bonus 😉 Don't skip the workouts people!!!

I wish I had been more in tune with some of these things a lot sooner than now, like the saving of money. I mean, I knew I should, I just didn't do a very good job of it. At all.

And the gym not being optional. I hate that. I really do. I want to go back to the days when I could sit on the couch all day and night, eating all of the junk food, drinking all of the Pepsi, and not gaining a single ounce. #thegooddays

Most of it spent in school. By the time law school was over, I woke up one day 30. Haha
I learned SO much more in my 30s.
Oh yeah and our wedding was small because I didn't care about a big fuss. Never did. No way would I ask my parents to spend that kind of money after putting me through my phd.

I agree with all of those. I definitely traveled a lot in my 20's and I'm so glad that I did! It just doesn't happen as easily now. And most definitely save money! Doing both of those is tricky but it can be done 🙂

I love this. I want our wedding to be nice, but, I'm also not going into debt because of it. That's no way to start a marriage – not a way I would WANT to start a marriage anyway.

Investing in your marriage and not your wedding day is SO IMPORTANT. What's a perfect fairytale wedding day if you're unhappy and divorced a year later? Also, take vacations. My husband and I have a motto: we'd rather spend our money making memories than on tangible things. Fill the house with picture perfect decorations or go to Antigua for a week? I'll take the latter 😉

I have never heard of "drinking grace" but I kinda love it! Saving money, deciding what you want to do {and then doing it} and taking vacations are my 3 faves on your list. I FREAKED OUT about turning 30 last year and I still don't love it {yet}. I'm learning to love it though. Heck, I better since I turn 31 next month. Ha!

I so need a support group…so do. Plus, the drinking grace thing?! People should know this…but most don't. Not in their 20s, 30s, and heck even 40s or later on. I know people in their 50s and they still don't know how much they can or should drink. 🙁

I'm still working on avoiding Target clothes and investing in more quality pieces though. :-p
