Yay for Birthdays!

It’s been a week long birthday extravaganza. Those closest to me know how much I love celebrating my birthday and while last years Big 3-0 was pretty low key, I have really whooped it up this year between hitting the spa with the girls, an over-the-top wine and cheese party and an amazing dinner at Café Japengo. I say, “why the hell not!” The number 31 is so underappreciated. I think more of us should highlight the birthdays in between the milestones. After all, each year’s blessings are no less important. So with that said, I’m going to continue the celebration by treating myself to a Yin Yoga class tonight and maybe I will even start planning next years 32nd Birthday Bonanza.

Getting Married!

Well, by now most people know that Jeff and I are engaged. Jeff proposed privately at home on February 13th (Lucky Friday the 13th) before our early Valentine’s Day dinner. He was heading out of town early on the 14th and wanted to pop-the-question before he left. We celebrated with tapas at Costa Brava in Pacific Beach and enjoyed the excitement before making the calls to our families and friends the next day. We don’t know yet when or where the wedding will be, only that it will be very small. I will post photos of the ring when I can. I’m not one to boast but it’s pretty smokin’!
