So today is my birthday.  My thirtieth birthday.  I had a big weekend for a big milestone birthday and it was amazing!

Friday night was a big party downtown with about 30 people.  It was bittersweet because it was also the going away party for my best friend who is moving away in a few days.  We had some sad moments throughout the night, but it’s so comforting to be surrounded by this much love:

Saturday several of our friends went to Disney Hollywood Studios for Star Wars Weekends, followed by an afternoon and evening at Magic Kingdom.  It was about a zillion degrees outside, but we did our best to not let that bother us.  Soooo much fun!

Today we went to my parents’ house for pool time, dinner, cake, and gifts.  My mom had a cake custom made with purple roses (my favorite color) and my name on it.  As a gift, they bought me a plane ticket to visit some very much missed relatives out of town this summer.

I truly could not have asked for a better, more epic 30th birthday weekend.  I am SO SO SO lucky to have so many amazing family and friends who love me.  Life is good!

And now, to get myself a good night of sleep.  I wish the weekend didn’t have to end, but I am exhausted!
