Hello 30
Tomorrow it will be almost one month since I turned 30 so I thought it was high time I shared a few pics of R and my joint 30th birthday party back in April.
Initially we weren't going to mark our birthdays in any other way than doing something quiet ourselves (we both have a bit of a phobia of parties), but then I realised that I would regret it if we didn't do something to celebrate with our friends and so after a bit of persuasion from me, we decided to have a little party at our house. We kept the guest list small and only had our closest friends so as to keep stress levels down!
I set about decorating the house with lots of spring flowers, eucalyptus, fairy lights and huge paper baubles that I got from Ikea ages ago.
I made a slightly wonky-looking 30 banner.
We used our old tin bath and crates for storing the booze.
My sister made the most incredible four tiered vanilla cake with buttercream and raspberry jam.
She did such an amazing job - it looked incredible! (and it tasted wonderful too).
We decorated it with fresh flowers and some bunting that I made from washi tape, and some old numbers that R and I found in a junk shop the week before.
I re-vamped our Christmas wreath with some daffs to make it look a little more Spring-like.
Bobby didn't lift a finger, as usual.
We made lots and lots of canapes (it's not a party if there's no food in my opinion!). Luckily two of our lovely friends who live in Cardiff came up to stay for the weekend and spent all afternoon helping us with the food. They were amazing!
The canapes were very delicious if I say so myself! And everything looked very pretty and twinkly!
It started to rain in the evening and got a bit nippy so we lit the fire to make the house cosy. And we put lanterns outside in the garden and along the path at the front of the house to welcome our guests.
I remembered to take some photos of us before the alcohol started flowing!
After that, things got a little blurry!
It was so lovely to be among all our dearest friends and family, all the people we care about most and love dearly. Who know us better than anyone and who, between them, have been there for all the important stages of our lives.
Later on things got a little.....um......out of hand, shall we say, and we forgot to take any more photos (definitely a good thing!) There was chatting and drinking and lots and lots of dancing in the kitchen (and a fair bit of singing too!)
We also realised that the numbers on the cake were far better the other way round...!
We had the most wonderful party and felt so glad that we managed to get all our friends together to celebrate with us. We felt very lucky to be marking the beginning of another decade surrounded by our closest, dearest people. It is exciting to be entering a new phase of our lives together, leaving our twenties behind and starting a new journey. We loved our twenties and everything that happened, all the stuff we did and achieved. But I think we're both happy to be entering our thirties, more comfortable in who we are, and the sort of life we want to create together. I'm looking forward to what the next 10 years will hold!
