I am 30

Yes, it has happened. And I am okay. :) I chose to celebrate the last night of my 20's last night, being 29 on the 29th of April, and got a bunch of girlfriends to go out for dinner, it was good times. I crossed over into my thirties with a bottle of champagne and two friends out on the terrace, it was perfect. My instructions were to make a wish and then tell my highlight from the 20's - and it was such a perfect thing to do, because it was so hard to pick an event or memory! There have been so many amazing ones, all but the year I was engaged were chock full of crazy, momentous, enlightening experiences. (Even the engagement was its own crazy time, but not so much on the happy side).

Here's what I would say my highlights are :)

• Tassie road trip at the end of my semester there
• Driving to the beach in the middle of the night with Ryoko after graduation
• My mom's wedding
• Xai-Xai, Mozambique - the people, the beach, the hair-plaiting
• Traveling with my brother through South Africa and Germany
• Buying a house
• Moving to London
• Last night - seriously, it was so cool to realize what a fantastic set of friends I have been lucky enough to 'collect' in this city. It's the first time since college, and actually maybe ever, that I have had so many friends I treasure.
  

I could probably think of more or be more eloquent, but my celebrations last night have taken their toll on my 30 year old body, and I must get some sleep now!
