It’s Our Dirty Thirty!

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!!!  I can not believe I turned 30 years old today!  I don’t feel a day over 21 on the inside .

One of my best friends from home came to visit, Kaleena and it just so happens that her birthday is four days after mine so we had a joint “surprise” birthday party.  We weren’t privy to the details of this party until the day of!  After the fact we received the invitations that were sent out…I really like it!

And there were even flyers!

Kaleena arrived from the US on February 10 and we ran around town seeing the sites and trying to fight the jetlag.  Saturday February 11 was all about party preparation.  A few friends recommended a (Korean) woman who could wash and straighten my hair…I was a skeptic because I have not had much luck with getting my (natural) hair done in Sydney.  Let me say she WORKED IT OUT!  There were actually two women who worked on blow drying and flat ironing my hair at the same time!  I know some of yall from the south are superstitious about having two people work on your hair but I was in and out in an hour!  Then there was nails and make up to sort out.

We were told to be ready and out the house by 645pm…with only fague directions on where we were actually going.  I was nervous about my hair turning into an afro so we hopped in a cab and wound up picking up Reggie and heading to one of my FAVORITE steak restaurants in Sydney, Kingsleys.

Some of my closest Sydney friends came out for dinner and we had a great time catching up…the excitement was in the air about the party and what else the night may hold.

It was a great opportunity for Kaleena to meet some of my friends…never hurts to have some familiar faces at your own party!!

Unfortunately Reggie couldn’t stay long…he had other party planning to look after.  I enjoyed my steak for the both of us .

I really felt so special, I felt the love and there were butterflies in my tummy about getting to the party and seeing what Reggie has been up to the past few months.

The party details are to follow…but just to tease you there was a professional photographer so there should be some AMAZING pictures!!!
