I had a wonderful birthday last week and here are all the things we did to celebrate!
Jay took me on a date to go eat sushi the night before my birthday. And he makes this ridiculous face when he doesn’t really want to take pictures. Which is pretty much all the time haha.
I woke up on my birthday to a breakfast the girls and Jay made for me and my presents. I told the girls I wanted a card from them and they made me the cutest handmade cards. One even made me a pop-up card! Jay bought me an adjustable dress form I’ve been wanting, I am so excited to use it!
Jay invited all my family over for the best meal I’ve ever had of all my favorite foods: smoked salmon, crabs w/ butter, grilled pineapples & corn. We just got a smoker and I’ve been telling him how I can’t wait to smoke salmon with it and it turned out so delicious.
I am so grateful for my family and for all my friends. I felt so loved all day and I was feeling so much gratitude the whole day. I think life gets better as you get older because of the new people you meet and the new friends you make, and your relationship with your old friends strengthens. The older you get, the more people you love and care for. My motto is always make friends and never enemies. And to never hold a grudge or ill feelings towards anyone. I think there is a direct correlation between how much love you have in your heart to your happiness. And of course the opposite is also true, how much hatred or resentment you have in your heart is directly correlated to your unhappiness. Forming and strengthening relationships is what makes life so beautiful and worth living for. My 30th year was my favorite year yet and I know my 31th will be even better than the last. And I am one year wiser! Woo hoo! Or let’s hope so anyway. 😉
