Today was the end of my 30th year of life! I thought it would be more dramatic, but it really wasn’t. My husband and I both got the day/night off work and he brought me a dozen beautiful yellow roses from the Fresh Market!
We celebrated with a few couples who are close friends this evening. We had a book exchange (white elephant style…minus the gag gifts) and everyone brought healthful hors d’oeuvres. It was SO much fun! I made little tent cards for people to label their dishes. Here’s a recap of the food:
And a recap of the guests: Dave & Rachel, Rick & Jan (& baby Andrew), Nate & Leigh, and Bryan & me. Bryan created a great easy listening and light jazz playlist, which really set the mood for a relaxing time with friends. And the book exchange was fun too (though, there wasn’t much stealing, swapping, etc., with such a small crowd).

Rick & Jan (Note: the Coca Cola in this picture is the original recipe with cane sugar instead of corn syrup)
Finally, I’ll close the eve of my 30th birthday with a few favorite quotes I found and picture of me and my man:
“Time and Tide wait for no man, but time always stands still for a woman of thirty” -Robert Frost.
“The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes” -Frank Lloyd Wright.
yay! fun times ๐
happy birthday! looks like a great time!
Thanks. ๐ It was a blast! ๐
