embracing my 30’s? or still 29??

i’m kinda on the fence if i’m welcoming 30 with arms wide open.. or if i will just pretend i’m 29 for another year (or so 😉 ) while in boston on saturday a few people commented how i didnt look a day over 20… i’ll take it!! 🙂

with a lot of planning, manuvering on everyone parts, baby sitters, directions, hotel rooms booked, reservations made etc etc.. all my girls made it!! to boston… for my birthday!!! My closest 5 friends were there in one place for the first time in SEVEN years!!  We all agreed that will NEVER happen again!

I am sooo lucky to have such a great group of friends…. coming from a not so big family these girls really are my chosen family… i know they are ALWAYS there for me as i am for them! marriages, moving and babies… and we are still as close as ever…. i’m just so lucky.

We met for a late lunch at magianno’s little italy… two words “family style” YUM!!! then we hung out in the hotel room.. more silliness, beverages and chit chat… steph had me pose for some glamour shots 😉 ahh…. and we also realized i will NEVER be able to run for political office with the photos that are out there circulating of me 😉

we then got all hooched up.. *cough* i mean dressed up 😉 and went to finale for the best dessert ever!! it was so great.. everything i had planned for us was RIGHT near the hotel…

we had to work off all those calories from dinner and dessert.. so we headed to the estate for some DANCING!!! 😉 fun was had….

i danced on stage with a rather trashy looking girl 😉
“are you getting married” white trashy girl asks
“no its my birthday” i reply
“oh… i just like to get drunk and dance on stage” says white trashy girl

ahhhh… good times good times… there were half naked girls dancing.. and even made a few bucks 😉
and steph found a BFF for life… 😉 note sunglass boy below…

it was absolutely perfect 😉
i got a lime juicer, my first bottle of don julios 😉 , lemon drop shot ingredients, flip flops, itunes gift cards… and more goodies!! my girls know me TOO well!

enjoy the photos 😉
