It has been an overwhelming month, trying to finish up school, work, and get all my freakin' dental problems taken care of. Finally, my little vacancy in the bottom corner of my mouth is starting to close up, I'm no longer on pain meds, and I'm slowly coming back to sanity. Last week was my 30th birthday! And of course, the day before my birthday was my major 10 -15 minute presentation for my final grade. So the 3 to 4 days leading up to my birthday were spent in utter mania just trying to get my topic and sort out all the information, etc. Im such a last minute person that I had not even decided on the topic of my presentation until the weekend before it was due. ANYWAYS, all that to say, I barely had time to think about my birthday or all the excitement it would be until the night before because I was so exhausted. And since it was the night before that I started thinking about it, of course I couldn't just fall asleep - so I was up until about 4:30am. nice.
My beautiful, wonderful friend Lauren, along with a couple other girls, planned a night out for me in Dallas. They booked a room at Hotel Zaza, which is amazing, and we were ushered around in a limo all night to go eat and go dancing. It was SUCH a good time. My oldest and closest friends were there, with a few exceptions, and they all got along great and we managed to have an entire girls night out without any clashing amongst the various personalities. =) THANKS GIRLS!!
Here are a small number of photos from Friday...
Me, Lauren, and my oldest friend, Jess who I've known since I was 8!!
My awesome cake!
Outside the limo...
Me and my perfect sister-in-law...
Saturday night my mom threw me a small get-together at her house... Actually, I thought it was supposed to be small, which is why I didn't really tell many people about it, but my mom had the house DECKED out!! But it seems neither of us remembered to tell many people either, since two of my aunts had no idea, and neither did my other sister-in-law!! =) BUT, that's okay because I know she had just wanted to have a special evening for me, and that was certainly successful!!
Here are a few pics from that night...
So, it's official. I'm completely old.

It was ALL so fun! I can't believe 30 is here! I love you!
Ahhh...30. It really isn't that bad. I only have two more days until I am officially "in my 30s."
Here's hoping that we never look our age!
Wish I was down there so we could celebrate together...
Welcome to the wonderful world of 30 my friend! I have to tell you, it really is kinda cool. I thought sooo much about turning 30 when I hit 29, that by the time I actually turned 30, it was like "finally!" I'm actually enjoying my 30 status.
By the way you look FABULOUS!! Way to rock your 30 bad self :-)
Love ya!

What wonderful celebrations! Looks like you all had a blast, and you look beautiful. And don't worry, I hear 30 is the new 20 or something. I'll join you in the old-age bracket next week!!
Happy birthday Lindsay!! I'm so glad you had a fun night out!!
