Birthday Love.

We were sitting around the table playing a game of "citizens of humanity"- a snowy night in Crested Butte. My friend Jenn preparing pazole soup. It was elisa, erin, jen, jen's bf, and jen's bf's friend. When Jen sent out the invite for her annual get together at her parent's amazing cabin I couldn't think of a better place to be for my 30th. Then when Elisa surprised me on the phone saying that she was flying out for the trip - I knew it would be perfect! And it was. After much laughing, appetizers and wine we starting eating around 10pm. The most delicious birthday dinner. They brought out a confetti birthday cake and I made a wish and then Elisa brought out this book that she had put together. Of basically all my friends and family writing me love notes. I starting crying right away. I am so lucky to have such incredible friends and I feel so rich in life. Thank you for everyone's kind words and for your loving friendships!

#30daystill30

I am surprised at how excited I actually am to turn the big three oh. What if you were one of those people who were just so dang excited about being alive?! I love the life and opportunities I have had so far and growing older means, growing wiser and letting go some of the juvenile or insecure thoughts that come with wanting to be accepted. Keeping up with the Joneses. There are still times of going on facebook and envying people's lives. Their look. Their ideas. It's easy to get down on your life when you are constantly checking instagram and facebook and when your friends are ridiculously good looking and cool! Ha. I am happy for my friends and all the stages of life they are in. People who don't have kids - want kids. People who have kids - want to travel. People who travel - want a husband. People who have a husband - want a house. Everything is amazing and nobodies happy. Instagram SHOULD act as an inspiration! If you don't think your life is awesome. Then just make it more awesome, duh.  Get excited to be here. Don't get stuck in a rut. I started a #30daystill30 to try something new everyday. Weather it's going to a new country (Colombia) or making pesto. All I know is that life is short and growing older motivates me to do more things! More fun things. And then post them on instagram so other people can see how awesome life is.
