Pre-Birthday Treats

As my impending 30th birthday rounds the corner like a dog out of the gate, I've had a few small celebrations. Dinners out. Lunches with gal friends. Even a few margaritas. Life seems really stressful, but good right now. I'm content for the first time in a long time. I've got a cup full to be grateful for. I don't have to list it all out here, but let's just say that I'm happy, healthy and content going into a new era. So, to celebrate-I'm going to party like its 1999... right into my actual birthday. A wise friend once told me that you don't stop celebrating until all the presents are opened and all the cards have stopped coming (belated and all).

Here are some pictures from dinner out at one of my favorite Italian places with my parents. Yummy is all I can say.
