Hello Hello and welcome to our blog. Yes we are doing a little thing to figure out and comment on how it is to be 30. For the record I just want to say I (Manda) am NOT 30 just yet. I still have 3 more months of being 29 till I celebrate 30. : ) April 17th is the date, just in case anyone wants to send flowers, chocolates, their undying affection my way. Mandy is already 30, so you can still send your flowers, chocolates and undying affection her way post dated.
Just to give a little background on how Mandy and Manda met. We were both living in Norway in 2004-2005. I met Hayley, Mandy's cousin when studying in Norway in 2001. So when we both moved there in August 2004 Hayley got us in contact. Since then Mandy moved back to the USA in 2005 and we have kept in contact meeting up in Norway, Germany and the USA about every other year.
Mandy is living in the Minneapolis and working. Manda is living in Shanghai, China and working as a math teacher. We thought it would be fun to record our experiences for the 30th year and see what we learn from this year, and have a laugh.
I wanted to start off with a quote from Confucius:
"At fifteen my heart was set on learning; at thirty I stood firm; at forty I had no more doubts; at fifty I knew the mandate of heaven; at sixty my ear was obedient; at seventy I could follow my heart's desire without transgressing the norm."
So I guess in our 30th year we will learn to stand firm. Looking forward to the journey to solid ground. Here we go!
