The big 3-0

I have to say turning 30 wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!

I started celebrating a few days early and liked it so well I extended a few more days!

Thursday, the 6th, my soon-to-retire principal hosted a birthday lunch for 3 of us that had birthdays all in a row!

A sweet first grader, Gianna, and I share the same birthday!

Friday night coincided with the monthly BFF dinner out- we tried Carolina Ale House!

Saturday Dad, Mom and I met Tyler and the girls for breakfast before heading to Greensboro to celebrate with the rest of the fam.

I can't tell you the last time we celebrated birthdays as an extended family. It was an often occurrence when we were little but as we got older it just didn't happen as much!

John Michael turned 27 January 30th so we made a double bday celebration.

As always Aunt Myra was the hostess with the mostess!

While in town I was able to catch up with one of my favorite friends- Traci, for a quick visit over yogurt at Di'lishi.

And just when I didn't think my birthday could get any better ... One of my best friends from college, Meredith was in town for a Charlotte Bobcats game over the weekend so we were able to visit and celebrate on Sunday!
