This year was my "Golden Birthday" which is when your age is the same number as the day of your birthday...so this year I celebrated 30 years on January 30th!!!
To celebrate the occasion I had planned a trip to Vegas with Ryan and 6 of our closest friends/family....but before we left they decided to surprise me first! The weekend before my birthday my sister Jenny, Kelli and Ryan threw a big surprise party for me at Jenny's club house. They had the place decorated so cute with pink, black and white (my favorite colors) they had pictures of me dated all the way back from when I was a little girl until current...and they had gotten me the most amazing cake...then to top it all off they invited all of my very close and dear friends to help me celebrate this milestone of a birthday. I must admit I was a little weary about turning 30 but being surrounded by all the wonderful people in my life made me realize that I had nothing to fear...I'm in a great place in my life, sure there are things I would have liked to have accomplished before reaching this ripe age, but I was reminded that I've experienced a lot of wonderful things thus far ...I have two beautiful children and the most amazing Husband, a good job and I've lived...I've failed and I've succeeded and I've met a lot of inspiring people along the way, so I came to the conclusion....bring on the next 30 years!!!
The weekend of my actual birthday we boarded a plane Vegas bound, along with Jenny, Kenny, Kelli, Jamie, Candee and Jessica. We went for 3 days and we stayed at the Luxor Hotel and Casino. We had a blast... The first day we hung out at the pool, and did some perusing along the strip at night we rode the roller coaster at NyNy and saw the Chris Angel Believe show which was pretty good if you ask me. The second night which was my actual birthday we went to the different hotels and checked out the shopping at Ceasars Palace and the Venetian, Ryan bought me a cute Guess purse for my birthday and Jenny got me the matching wallet we caught a bus over to Fremont Street (Old Las Vegas) where we enjoyed the canopy show, as well as all the crazy people. After a couple of hours we headed back to the main strip and Ryan treated me to dinner at Margarita Ville. We ended our evening throwing a few bets at the casino and watching the water show at the Bellagio. It was a Great way to celebrate my birthday and I'm so glad I had my friends there to celebrate it with me.
So I'll leave my post with this Quote: “Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... WOW! What a ride!” ~Bill McKenna
