30th Birthday - Party 1 of 3…
Normally I am a person who plays down my birthday. I intentionally tell people not to do anything, I don’t let anyone at work know… and I end up feeling terrible every year! This year, mainly because I have the most wonderful fiance ever, I did the exact opposite. I had TWO parties and a wonderful dinner out. If you’re going to go all out for a birthday it might as well be for your 30th, right?!
The first party on Saturday started with my dad coming to town. I LOVE whenever he comes to visit and it made me feel so special that he came just for my birthday party. In addition, my favorite couple from Bellingham, Sarah and Jake (aka: Sake Bomb) came to town too. During the day we started with my favorite activity - sailing! It was a perfect day for sailing on the Sound…
Our view from the boat… somebody queue up Christopher Cross.

After sailing, we raced back to downtown to get ready for my birthday party at Black Bottle.

The birthday girl with the cupcake tower of power! They were delicious! Also… thank you to Mama Sue Kirn who treated me to my birthday dress! She instructed me to get ‘something girly’ so what could be more girly than a new birthday dress?! Thanks Sue!! :)

We had a great turnout of friends who came celebrate with me, and naturally towards the end of the night there was lots of weird dancing and of course… a rap-off. You might know, this birthday girl likes to rap! Although I chose the wrong person to rap-off against…

Karthik (aka: DJ Tik) absolutely handed it to me in our rap-off. I am not sure what I was thinking going against a former DJ in a rap-off! This guy knows his stuff and doesn’t even get out of breath (unlike myself!). I do have the gangsta hand down though… so that counts for something I think.
