I'm 30!

My biggest one so far!

I feel old. I feel poor. I feel... the happiest I have ever felt! I don't know how, I don't know why, I just do. 

I'm ready for the next 10 years of my life. Bring them on. All I ask for is health and happiness to those I love, that's it. That's all I want. I am now old enough to realise that at the end that's all that matters and it's a very selfish request at the same time as I want them to be healthy and happy so that I can stay as happy as I feel today.

For my birthday, I planned a party and I asked my guests to dress up as whatever it is they wanted to be. Everyone embraced it and loved the idea! There were about 15 people at the party, I cooked and my friend hosted. We played charades, we drank sangria, and I had a lot of fun. It wasn't a crazy party it was a happy party, my sister should have been there, and she was missed but she also makes me feel uncomfortable, judged, so in a way I'm glad she wasn't. But I did miss her.

I received gifts, a friend baked me a cake and my Turk was there to share everything with me! 

Here are just a few photos of this momentous date!

He got me this lovely coat... he knows I don't like them black!

He also got me a gift certificate for fondue, both cheese and chocolate and we went in January! He knows me just too well!!

We saw this movie, which was weird... just like I like them!

Strangely enough we ended up here for my 30th birthday dinner! Who would have thought! I want to always remember, no matter what you think you want to be when you grow up, where you want to be, were you want to do, life is a lot more exciting than that and it throws things at you that you could've never see coming!

I also got lots of little gifts at the party which were all items from 1982 the best year ever!

But well before that, I got treated to a great dinner in Hong Kong! I had pasta, and salad and western food! (Don't judge... it's a long story so just go with it). Once again proving that I have to stop planning, and predicting and I have to just get on with it and enjoy :)
