I didn't feel any big changes about being post-30, and it didn't prompt any new self-reflection or evaluation/changes in my life. I have more perspective in which to realize that I'm doing a pretty good job overall at managing my life and making improvements, and I can relax into it... there's no big fear hanging around that could Ruin My Life.
Moving in with Brian was a milestone event, but there were multiple reasons for that: relationship commitment, working through grief, leaving behind the first home I bought, getting rid of many possessions, accepting financial interdependency, making a choice that seriously transgressed my mom's conservative moral viewpoint... I'm always uncovering new thoughts about it. If we marry, I'm sure we'll throw an extravagantly fun party, but it's the everyday being co-main-characters in the story of our life together that brings the real adventure.
