As you can recall (I am sure) from my prior post ( Pin-Up Teaser ), I promised to talk more in-depth about the Pin-Up party photographed by Jena (of McShane Photography ). However, first I need to talk about turning 30. A few of my friends hit the big 3-0 last year and they all had fabulous parties that exemplified who they were. Felisa had a huge bar crawl bash with a bunch of her friends, that was well organized, beautiful, and a lot of fun. Erin got a surprise 'Grumpy Cat' birthday party at a wine bar, where all of her friends and family were waiting to celebrate with her. It was perfect and very memorable. A few years back, Mark turned 30 and had an ALL NIGHT (I am talking 10pm-6am) laser tag party at Zap Zone with our nearest and dearest. Thus, I really wanted my birthday to be just as unique, memorable, and fun. I really wracked my brain to figure out what I wanted my party to be like and how it would represent who I am and who I wanted to be. That is a tough order
