My Golden Birthday

          Yesterday I turned 29, on the 29th of October.  That obviously means it was my golden birthday.  For some reason I was always excited about this day.  Ever since I was around 8, I have been looking forward to this birthday.  I don’t really know why.  I know it doesn’t really mean much.  I think I just envisioned having a big party where everything was gold.  Birthdays have always just been a big deal to me.  I take them pretty seriously.  I bought a new gold sequin top to wear, but I didn’t end up wearing it because it was too cold.  I wanted to pair it with my gold purse and “birthday girl” headband from two years ago.  I made myself this cake too.  

          In the morning I went with my mom, two aunts, and grandma to celebrate my b-day and engagement.  We went to an antique market.  Then, I went with my fiancé and sister to Chicago.  We walked around Millennium Park because I want to try out my new camera.  Then we did some shopping.  We also went out to eat at my favorite Thai restaurant.  After we got home I watched some of Stranger Things season 2.  Overall, it was a really fun birthday.
