Celebrating 30!

For my 30th birthday, we went to Nags Head - the beach in January! It wasn't exactly beachy weather, so we mostly stayed inside and played, but we did get to the beach long enough to take this picture!

30th birthday dinner party

For my 30th birthday, we had a dinner party at some friends' house. It was delightful!

Garin had prepared a toast for me - it was very sweet. And, he ordered a cake...

How much do I love this cake? Chocolate cake with chocolate icing and chocolate ganoche - does my husband know me or what?!?

It's the last weekend of my twenties...

...and I'm watching a marathon of Harry Potter movies. I suppose it's a tribute to my carefree childhood. Or regressing.

As I am reflecting on my life so far, I'm pretty well satisfied with it. I've actually done many of the things that I've wanted to do by the time I was 30. I've gotten married, had a kid, gotten 2 masters degrees, begun my career...the only thing I haven't done is go one mile on a hippity-hop. Aw, well, I can put that off until I'm 31.
