One of my old friends is turning 30 early next month. We met at work actually and another common friend of ours is planning a little meet up, reunion and simple get together just in time for that friend’s upcoming birthday. Turning 30 means something for some people I know these days. I was turning 30 on the year I gave birth so my 30th birthday was very special to me because it is the first year I celebrated it as a mother. My baby then was my most precious birthday gift for my 30th birthday.
But for our friend now as she is turning 30 herself, I bet she will be pursuing some of her dreams in life this year. She has a list and am sure she will be talking about that when we meet for her birthday. Now we are thinking of chipping in to get her a birthday gift as agreed by her friends. We have gift ideas in mind already. She loves red velvet cupcakes from one bakery here so that will be her birthday cupcakes unless we get her the chocolate mousse cake which is also one of her favorite cakes. (more…)
