It's My Birthday!

Its my birthday today & I've given myself the day off. There has to be some advantage to working for yourself right?! 

Work has been crazy busy the past few weeks (even did a few all nighters - first time since uni days!)

Im having a haircut, then off for lunch with 2 of my girlfriends who are on maternity leave & can join in for a mid week lunch! 

Tonight i'm out for dinner with Ben, my parents & his parents at SoCal. I looove mexican inspired food (and a margarita!)
Pretty excited for what this year ahead holds - new home, euro trip & lots of great projects on the work front!

....some birthday flowers for myself! ;)

Birthday Weekend!

What a great weekend! Was fairly laid back but busy! Really did make me realise what amazing family i have, good friends & an awesome fiance i am so lucky to have in my life!

On friday night Ben told me to be ready at 5...i was curious to say the least? Nanna dinner time?! We headed to Golden Century (AWESOME chinese restaurant in Chinatown - i would go as far as to say best chinese in Sydney! Has a chefs hat too!) then he took me to see 'Love Never Dies' the sequel to Phantom of the Opera at the Capitol Theatre! What a surprise, i loved Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals when i was younger (could probably recite Les Miserables word for word at the age of 10 haha), but its not something Ben & i have done together & was fun to get dressed up & have dinner & go to a show!

Whole (from the tank!) steamed Barramundi (a must!)

On Saturday mother nature spoilt me by deciding it was time to shine some sun on Sydney! 

We headed to Clontarf beach for a picnic with family & friends.

There was frisbee, cricket, food, bubbles & a huge cake!

And I was very spoilt with some gorgeous pressies!!! 

On Saturday night Ben & i headed to a great new local French restaurant Cafe Lyon with our parents to celebrate the 90th birthday weekend - on sunday it was Bens mums 60th! So sunday morning we headed to beautiful Clarks point on Sydney harbor for a another picnic!

Once again the sun was shinning!

Great weekend! Feeling good!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

This week is crazy - Have my final wedding dress fitting today, hair trial on friday & my hens this weekend!

Im 30! (tomorrow)

Turning 30 tomorrow! woohoo! 

I havent really thought much about it till today as theres been so much other stuff going on, but im actually excited about it! Working for myself, marrying the love of my life in 5 weeks - Life is good! Feeling a bit like this chick! (but not blurry!)

The plans for celebrations are a picnic tomorrow at a Sydney beach with family & a few friends

(yes sydney siders, i hear you say, are you kidding? have you looked outside! It supposed to clear up tomorrow - cross your fingers for me!), then out to dinner tomorrow night with Bens parents as its his mums 60th on Sunday! 

 Go aquarians! Maybe i should by myself a chunk of Amethyst to celebrate?!

The celebrations are actually starting tonight - ive been told by ben to be 'dressed up & ready to go at 5pm'...

hmmmm i have no idea whats happening! As someone else pointed out he cant be proposing, he did that last year! 

In any case im going to rock out these Michael Kors heels i bought when we were in LA!
