It's been awhile since I posted. I had my 30th birthday!!Yay!! It was actually kind of anti-climactic. I don't feel any different or anything, but I did have a great birthday!
I didn't want a big party so myself my husband my cousin Chaya and her husband and my friend Jason all went out to a nice dinner. We chose an Italian restaurant that Chaya and I went to a lot in our early twenties. It was so much fun. The food was great as it always is there, but we sat for about two hours telling stories and laughing. Chaya was my roommate when I first moved out of my parents house, and while we had a rather large apartment it had so many problems that it was just crazy. We got to telling all of those stories and the next thing we knew we were crying from laughing so hard. That is the best feeling in the world.
Just to give a little history Chaya and I are first cousins so we have know each other all our lives. Chaya and I met Jason when we were both working for a hospital in Nashville. Jason and I became instant friends and not long after him and Chaya became close too. Chaya and I lived together and Jason lived in the neighboring apartment complex. For anyone who is wondering Jason is strictly a platonic friend. Chaya and I are not his type so to speak, and our husbands are totally ok with our friendship with him. Anyway that said he knew all of our stories because he lived most of them with us. Well Chaya and I can say a few words and know what were talking about then just start laughing. This leaves our poor husbands wondering what we find so funny!
The night was so good for me. Seeing how much we have all grown. What we have become, and even though we have had our rough patches we have remained close all this time. It was good to share my birthday with family. While Chaya is my actual family Jason I have considered a memeber of the family for years too. Infact he comes to all our family functions. I also believe that your friends are the family you make for yourself, and I am so very blessed to have such a wonderful family!! :)
aww that's so great that you had a good 30th birthday!!
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you have so many good memories and funny stories to look back on with Chaya and your time as roommates.
yes yes, Gone with the Wind IS my favorite fiction book!! That's great you're rereading it. I probably should too because I read it when I was 14 only. I want to read the sequel too.
