At first I was dreading my birthday...not because I'm not happy with my life, I couldn't be happier, I am thankful everyday for God's blessings. It was only because 30 is just old, no offense to my family and friends over 30 :) I was just feeling like I haven't done enough... you know, haven't seen the world yet...
Close friend Diana said, "you have 3 beautiful kids, loving husband, good career, girlfriends that love you and much more and the reason we both have such happy families is because we have such happy marriages" and that in itself is a huge accomplishment.
Cousin Tip said you get smarter when you turn 30!
Thanks for the pep talks girls! I guess I was just being a drama queen about the whole thing. I thanked Jay because I realized that I may not be the youngest and prettiest girl in the world, but at least my husband makes me feel like I am. I wish this for all girls! And it's not just because I have a family that I have done so much, but its the way I have a family, a happy one because Jay and I grow stronger every year...even when we drive each other crazy :) And I have the best family and friends, because without their support and help with the kids Jay and I wouldn't be where we are today!
So, I guess if all I have left to do is see the world, then I am pretty lucky. So, if you are reading this, that means you have affected my life in someway over the past 30 years! Thanks everyone!
On with the fun stuff...My birthday started off with Spa Day #1 at the Green Valley Ranch Resort in Las Vegas, a wonderful gift from my sisters...followed by lunch and shopping with Dee, shopping funds provided by mom :)
Spa Day #2 was with Kay! Since, we are only ten days apart, we were able to celebrate together at the Lansdowne Resort in Virginia. The last time we had a joint birthday was when we were five :) After we got our massage and were waiting in the lounge for our facials, we were surprised with champagne, cake and the sweetest note from Tippi and Rick!
Isn't the cake so cute!
And on the actual day of my birthday, a crazy family dinner at Maggianos
Got to see some of the girls while I was in the bay. I was so excited...Loan got me and Di Sprinkles cupcakes for our birthdays...Tyler and Ethan helped us blow out the candles.
followed by...
Bachlorette Party!!!
Rode up to the city in style, Amanda and Nina hooked it up with a SUV limo
We first had dinner at Asia SF, then of course dancing, dancing and more dancing!
Love you Tips!
Thanks for planning everything Mands and Nin!
