I am so BIG on birthdays, growing up I never got a party for my birthday as my older sister was asthmatic and usually ill around that time or something terrible would usually happen just before my birthday. For a long time I always thought my birthday was jinxed and I never enjoyed it. I've not really celebrated it for the last two years as my best friend lost her dad just before my birthday and the next year we his memorial service.
Because of all this I've ALWAYS wanted to have a huge birthday party. I've been obsessed with it for years, but this year I didn't feel that way. I actually just wanted a quiet birthday with a few of my very close friends over a meal and some drinks. I wish I could say it's growing up (hahaha) but fat chance, I still intend to have a big birthday party when I finally hit the big 30 (geez)
So my birthday was on Sunday 2nd February, after church my best friend and I went to meet up with two other friends at a quiet, laid back restaurant. We had cocktails and a meal and we shared stories and laughed so hard. I really didn't want to leave, I felt so surrounded with love.
As the years roll on by, I am really beginning to see the important things. I am thankful to be alive but more than that, I am thankful for the strong genuine bonds I have made with others. Life is so much better when shared with good friends and family. I thank God that I have both.
What do you think of my birthday outfit? I wore a neon yellow ASOS dress, blue Aldo peep-toe ankle boots and a gold statement necklace. Check out more birthday pictures by adding me on instagram @ghetogal
