I turned the big 3-0 last Tuesday. I was NOT looking forward to it, but Brian made it really special for me. He surprised me by taking the day off work, and told me that I could pick any restaurant I wanted to go to for lunch. And then after a delicious lunch at Mark's, he took me on an Anthropologie shopping spree! We were in that store for TWO AND A HALF HOURS (the poor guy)! Then on Friday night he subjected himself to a night of British romantic comedy.
On Saturday, I went out for a Birthday Breakfast at *17 with some of my favorite Houston girlfriends. They really made me feel special, and made turning 30 into something really fun and not-so-scary. An awesome surprise was that among the gifts was a bucket of Lego! I guess you all don't know this - but I am a HUGE fan of Lego - and I love that my friends know that Lego has no age limit, hehehehe.
Hooray for my awesome husband, lovely girlfriends, and turning 30!

What a fun birthday weekend!
sounded like the blow of turning 30 was softened. i love getting older. seriously. each year i love myself more, i enjoy life just a little bit more and i slow down a bit (even for me which is hard) and take in family and our time spent together. i love that! p.s. all of the food you had looked beyond delish ;)
Belated happy birthday!

I mean, what birthday could be bad with THOSE eggs benedict!! it looks amazing and my mouth is seriously watering over here! haha. anyhoo, happy bday girl. glad it was as fabulous as you deserve!
Happy belated birthday, girlie! I'm glad you had such a wonderful day (with such a sweet guy to celebrate it with) and I'm dying of jealousy over your bucket of lego's.
Seriously. Dying. Of Jealousy.
I can't wait to see you in a couple weeks!!

Happy Birthday, Dionne! What a fun couple days you had!

(And when I gave my grandson Legos last Christmas, I sat and played with him for hours!)
Happy Belated!! I hope you had the best birthday week ever!!!!!
Happiness is having a fabulous birthday like you!
Big birthday hugs!! Sounds like the perfect birthday filled with awesome friends, amazing food and a wonderful guy who sits through 2 1/2 hours at Anthropologie - can't beat that!! :)
Happy Birthday, Dionne. It is my birthday week, too, but I am almost 30 years older than you. Grateful for each year :). Glad your day was special.
Fondly,
Glenda
