the end of an era..

I saw this on Pinterest and it totally cracked me up.

This is so my life right now.  Case in point: when Ryan and I go to the movies now, we opt for the 6:45- 7:00 show instead of the 9 or 10:00 show.  And when I look around, we are the youngest people in the theater.  It feels like going a late movie is just too exhausting anymore or something, which just makes me feel ancient.  What's next?  Eating my dinner at 4:30 and going to bed at 8:00?
 
The second piece of evidence over the weekend that reminds me of my age is the fact that I test drove one of these bad boys over the weekend:
 

My little Alero is still going strong, but it won't run forever, and Ryan and I really feel it is important to have a vehicle that can fit all four of our kids. I went in with my heart set on the Traverse, but a minivan is considerably more afforable than the Traverse.  It was just a test drive though, cause they only had two white minivans and I won't drive a white car.  So that change is potentially on the horizon in the next few months.  My kid may play soccer, and I may end up driving a mini-van but I still WON'T wear mom jeans.  I promise.

Seriously.

I bought my Alero when I was 22.  It has been the car all through my 20's.   Minivans are for people in their 30s and 40s and that is me now I guess.  It's a major mind shift.

30 is sexy and minivans are cool.
