Birthday Party

Friday night was awesome, because friends held a birthday party for me. I was out of town when I turned 30, and then kind of stupidly busy. A big THANKS to Lindsay and Jeff who decided to take up the cause and throw me a party. How sweet is that? Further thanks need to go to those who made/brought food, which was all delicious goodness. Even further thanks to everyone who came to celebrate, I had an absolute blast. Along with goaltimate and a BBQ, people also chipped in for a donation for cancer research, a cause rather close to my heart (I had thyroid cancer when I was younger, and my mom had/has a form of blood cancer). This was one of my original ideas for what to do about turning 30....okay, for turning 30. ;) Unfortunately I got too wrapped up in my own busy life - the Europe trip, and moving 6 days after getting home, to be able to follow through with it. But my awesome and generous friends made this happen too, and by the end of the party there was a $250 donation for cancer research. Thanks everyone, what an amazing birthday present. :)
