Awesome 30

I have been 30 for a while.. I'm half way to 31. This is why I have friends who are still younger than me. It gives us a second (and third) year of parties that makes us feel like we are still 30..

All jokes aside, I am loving 30 so far. I should add that I have never had age hang ups. But while I loved my twenties, looking back I can see that I do (and will) love my thirties even more. Plus I have dealt with more than my share of bad luck from late twenties to 30. So all that is behind me..

This long weekend we had a great, awesome, relaxed and fun 30th of one of my top 2 friends on this planet (and beyond).

I hardly took any photos. So I'll do this post with the four I deem publishable.

Checking out the new car and gadgets while the girls sign cards..

The birthday cake that had more than 30 candles on! (Possibly a 100!)

Awesome speech by the birthday girl. We cheered and cried and cheered.

 

Awesome venue with a view. And puppies.

 

Our day

Today was a public holiday. Tomorrow is just Thursday that I will bet my bottom dollar on will feel like Monday. Today, a little picture tour on our great day together.

Started off at the Moreletakloof Nature Reserve for a picnic and concert of the twins. Then home for a change in shoes for me. Next stop our local tea garden / kids play area, and lastly some fun at home while braaing. Today is less words, more pictures.

Isn't the best times spent breaking some of the rules and not caring that anyone is watching. Case and point the cake we killed at the tea garden. We (or one of us) even licked the plate. And one of us sat on the table reading the magazine to me.

 Now playing: Ellie Goulding - Your song.
