This was the last good, big birthday. I don't know how excited I'll be to turn 30, 40, 50....etc. I wanted this one to be a really good one, and Ben made sure it was. He kept saying how he "dropped the ball" this year. He builds up my birthday too much, then he feels guilty when it doesn't meet his expectations. Poor guy. He did a wonderful job of treating me all day. I was able to get the day off from work, so we were able to spend the whole day together.
First, I had to go renew my drivers license, 5 years went by really fast. The whole time I was at the DMV I was just remembering the first time I was there, getting my license for the first time.
After, Ben took me to the mall, and we went on a bit of a shopping spree. We had dinner plans at P.F. Changs, one of my favorite restaurants, so then we headed over there.
Ben had planned a huge get together to celebrate my birthday with almost all of my family and all of my friends that are in town. It was a wonderful surprised and I love that he put so much work into getting everyone together. Kristine helped so much too and I know both Ben and I appreciate it.
To end the festivities, on Wednesday we went to the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert up in Salt Lake. My parents got me tickets for a gift, and I loved it. They put on such great shows! This year was my least favorite of their performances, but still so entertaining.
Birthdays come but once a year, and I'm so lucky to have people surrounding me that help to make it such a special day
