I avoid birthdays, not because I mind ageing (although I do keep reminding myself to finally try some of your eye cream suggestions) but because having that much attention focused on me freaks me out.
This year D insisted we do something, anything, so I requested a cake and we rounded up some friends for a bowling date. I had the exact same party when I was 10, minus the beer. It was awesome this time around too.
And since we were on a roll with the whole celebrating thing, I convinced him to go to Disneyland with me on Monday. First time in 15 years and Indiana Jones was as amazing as I'd remembered.
It was a good way to start a new decade.
Happy Birthday! I'm turning 30 this year too and I think a bowling night would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteNice photos. Happy Birthday! I'll be joining you as a thirty-something in July :)

Oh, happy belated! I didn't realize it was your birfday. Hope it was a lovely one. Can't go wrong with a little bowling.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Rach! I was so sad to miss it. Bowling alleys weird me out, but I would have braved it for your big day!
ReplyDeleteDid you get a new haircut? Happy belated birthday!
ReplyDeleteYep - I cut it all off a couple months ago! I probably won't be keeping it this short for very long, but it was fun to try it.
Deleteshort hair, don't care? i like. happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteVery short! But I can't really handle the every three week haircuts, so I'll probably be growing it back out soon!
DeleteVery, very happy belated. I've been away from this space for too long; you look AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteAw, happy birthday! I will be hitting the 3-0 in September. It will probably be super low key. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! My friend held her 30th at a skating rink, it was so much fun and nostalgic!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Rachel! x
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns, Rachel! I turned 30 in April and I think it might just be the best decade :)
ReplyDeletehappy birthday! i'm the same on mine - all i want is come really, really, really good cake.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Rachel! When was your actual birthday? I turned 30 on May 13th -- so far, so good. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy 30th! Looks like it was a good time! Mine is next year. DJ asked what I wanted to do this year & I said next year's celebration would be enough to count for this year's (World Cup in Brasil!).
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! The 30's are actually fairly awesome, little secret you don't know until you get here. ;D Yay for a fun birthday party and a day at Disneyland!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Is your actual birthday the 23rd? Mine is today ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Bowling with friends and Dinseyland sounds like great ways to celebrate! And I absolutely love your new haircut, and debating with myself if I should try something similar.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! I turned 30 in April - I'm excited for this decade! (:
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you!
