If you are wondering about the title, it was the theme for my birthday evening that probably only Luisa could understand.
For the first time yesterday while taking a survey, they asked my age and it took a moment for me to answer. 30. I’m in a new age bracket now! It’s been two weeks since my birthday and I am finally getting to this post. It was a busy beginning to October with the conference in Steamboat Springs, then birthday celebrations two days in a row, followed by getting caught up at work.
The birthday party was perfect, multiple friends coming in waves so I had time to talk to everyone. Food, drinks and even a few rounds of the game Apples to Apples; it was my choice which ironically I was losing at miserably to GC, who just learned how to play. I enjoyed the company and the laughter. Below is a random sampling of the weekend.
And there was the surprise dinner last week, an idea collaborated by Alex and my mother. I had never done a food and wine pairing dinner before and I was absolutely amazed at how wonderful it was. Of course with wine along the way, it could only get better but I think it is something I’d like to try again in the future.
I am so thankful for my friends and family making this milestone such a special one. I couldn’t have done it without you!
