Taking it Back: Dad turn’s 30

Leave a comment

For most men, turning could be terrifying. But for Rob, it was thrilling.

Truth be told, society has put a taboo on this age. You may ask, “Seriously? Why and how?” It is said that once you turn 30 it means that you are an actual adult. No more childish daydreams. Your life should be put TOGETHER! Get your shit right, don’t screw it up! You should be married, with kids, have a degree with a great job, have a house, and make that money.

WOAH, what the actual f***?! Right?

30 doesn’t have to be scary. It’s an eye opener but it’s doable. You can overcome this taboo as long as you know what to expect. Society shouldn’t have control in how you do things in your life, you can do whatever you please at whatever time you can to achieve your goals.

What I can say for Rob, is that he overcame lots of obstacles but always saw the goal at the end of the tunnel. He continues to thrive and be the best dad for Averie and Arya.

Cheers on looking back today on him turning 30.

Taking it Back – NYE 2018

As my previous post mentioned, it is time to pause and reflect. I have been looking at my phone and have seen the number of pictures I hadn’t post. As a mom of 2, I am either helping my oldest in her homework, while running after a toddler in the other hand. In reality, social media tends to be left in the “To do list.” In the upcoming days I will have a series called, Taking it Back. Where I will revisit all the events that occurred in 2018.

This post is about New Year’s Eve 2018. On December, 30 of every year, it has become a tradition to go and buy fireworks. We usually go to the mecca store, TNT Fireworks in Daytona Beach. But this year, we decided to stay local. Averie picks her fireworks that she likes and we help guide her to the ones that is age appropriate for her to play with. Which is usually the pop-it’s, you know the ones that you throw on the floor and it pops. With our guidance, she plays with the sparklers that change colors.

Both the girls were mesmerized by the fireworks. This year was Arya’s first time being close to the noise. I was a bit nervous but she wasn’t afraid.

After looking at these photographs I can see how in the matter of a year the girls have grown so much. It is truly remarkable. Like the old saying goes, “Time does fly.” because we are less than a month away to ring in the new year.
