KalaeC: Older, Wiser @ 30

I turn 30 today (Tuesday). My thought on that: the older, the wiser. Thus, I feel really smart today. Okay, maybe not. But I can say I definitely feel more confident, comfortable, maybe even more happy with age. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my 20’s. I loved college, living with girlfriends. Staying out until 3 in the morning, sleeping passed noon. Moving to Montana for new adventures and a brand new career. Living on my own, with no responsibilities. The entire ten years was awesome, a fun time, a time to remember. But it’s odd how priorities change with age. Ten years ago, I would have considered a drive around town pointless, a Friday night at home with the family boring, going to bed at 8 o’clock lame. Now, those are among my favorite things. Being a wife and mom are the two most important things in my life/Kalae Chock, KXLY. More here.

Question: How have priorities changed for you from 10 years ago until now?
