The End of (Birth) Days. Only probably not.

Posted on | June 1, 2011 | 19 Comments

this is the part where the 29 year old me would apologize for the fact that you’ve been dealing with posts centered around my birthday for nearly two weeks now. but the 30 year old me doesn’t really apologize for anything, so ta-da! another post about my birthday. that is and has been over for days. i may however have to apologize for the fact that it will make you want to immediately throw a party just so you can get yourself a rad photo booth like this one. but how could i possibly be sorry for such amazingness. you’re right. i’m not.

Bree and i have over 400 epicly hilarious and fun pictures to remember our 30th birthday party forever. thanks to our pal Lindsy at LMR Photography, the silly memories were captured for eternity. as soon as i saw this post from Elizabeth (a fellow local blogger and all around lovely individual!) over at Delightfully Tacky, i knew i had to have the shimmery background. with Lindsy’s help, we pulled it off and i can’t stop laughing and smiling as i look through all the photos. numerous times, because that’s what i do. the best part? for all you locals (i know there are a ton of you!), you can hire Lindsy to do one for you! and you should. because – well i don’t really have to explain do i? see above evidence. she rules the school.

the 29 year old me would promise this is the last you’ll hear about my birthday weekend. but the 30 year old me knows i still have more photos and stories to tell. especially the one about how i don’t apologize for stuff anymore.

p.s. i love being 30. it’s basically like my new most favoritest thing.

    You look fabulous!  I think you should be allowed to spend the entire year before your thirtieth birthday celebrating….I did!  Glad your party was such a hit.

    So Bree and her hubby(?) and the bow tie and the party hat sitting on top of his head perfectly straight. DYING.  Love it.  They must use that somewhere on their Christmas (or Hanukah or Qwanza…) card.  Such a great idea for a birthday party and so glad you all had fun.  You make me smile and laugh with every post!

    It becomes more and more evident as you continue to post about your b-day bash that we are, in fact, the same person. It’s pretty much dang near official now. I figured I should let you know that we are blogging soul mates…or something…….

    All I know {ok, not ALL I know} is that after seeing all these photos I’m DESPERATELY wanting to make way too big a deal about my next bday–like whoa.
