Another Year around the Sun

So, my birthday just passed last week and I am now 34 years young, and it got me thinking about where I am in my life right now.

I am currently an Office Administrative Assistant for a furniture store in my small town, as well as trying to get an event planning/coordinating business off the ground.

This is not exactly where I thought I would be at 34, but I am blessed that I have had the opportunities that I have thus far.

I have always been a simple woman not needing much to keep me happy, the love of my husband and puppers, my family and friends, good cheap food, and my home. But lately the topic of finances has been big in my household.

My husband does an amazing job at supporting me and keeping us afloat, but I definitely don’t like that he is the main breadwinner. I want to feel as if I am also bringing a bounty to the table.

I have an associates in science and a bachelors in communication with a minor in psychology and I don’t feel like I can use those skills to their full potential in my small town setup, but I also couldn’t imagine leaving mine and my husband’s family in the wake.

Is this feeling of needing to be more just a symptom of my getting older, or is it just time to look for a new career setting?

I am looking into myself for the answers but also wondering if there is anyone else out there that feels the way I do.

Let me hear your thoughts and worries. Let’s look inside together!
