"29 and holding" Party!

One afternoon as I was driving home from Southpoint mall after spending the day with my best friend, it hit me... I will not be here to celebrate my 30th birthday with all of my friends!  I love my birthday but have not had a party since I was 21 and I am completely fine with that.  And I also felt silly suggesting my own party.  But my mom and friends loved the idea and she threw me the best party I could have asked for!  I just wanted to spend time with my friends... nothing extravagant or expensive.  My Saturday night family that I babysit for was kind enough to let us crash their house, on a Saturday night (their usual date night) nonetheless.

It was a wonderful night spent with all of my friends!  We chatted, laughed, and shared many fun memories and stories!  I will always cherish this time with my closest friends!  Thank you girls for being long-lasting friends who are there at anytime!  I love you all!
