We just took it low key and went for a little shopping (baby cloths nevertheless) and some sushi. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-special-for-your-30th/page/3#post-1612382 Mon, 05 May 2014 04:28:36 +0000 illumina 1612382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Barcelona for 4 days.

It was awesome - I think it was the only time I've done something big for my birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-special-for-your-30th/page/3#post-1612345 Mon, 05 May 2014 00:48:28 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 1612345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope:<br /> Mine is in September (hello, fellow 1984 baby!). My husband was going to plan a trip, but now that I'm pregnant (and will be 32 weeks pregnant on my actual birthday!), we'll see. I'm hoping he either takes me on a trip while I can still fly, or we do an IOU a year or two after baby. For his 30th I took him to Vegas, had his best friend surprise him there, and then made him a video of all our friends and family each wishing him a happy 30th. Yep, I gave him a hard act to follow! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-special-for-your-30th/page/3#post-1608191 Fri, 02 May 2014 10:04:20 +0000 mrsjazz 1608191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: You got to see Big Freeda?

Couldn't really do a big party because we for married after I turned 30. I have a couple years until dh birthday. ..I should start saving and planning </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-special-for-your-30th/page/2#post-1607351 Thu, 01 May 2014 23:02:41 +0000 pregnantbee 1607351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband (then boyfriend) and I celebrated by going to Hawaii! It was amazing. Both of our bdays are in the same month, so it was perfect for a joint celebration. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-special-for-your-30th/page/2#post-1607275 Thu, 01 May 2014 22:02:53 +0000 AprilFool 1607275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vegas!

But I think the memory you have is beautiful and wonderful. You should hold on to her singing you happy birthday and celebrate each and every one.</p> <p>@mrsjazz: I'm still waiting to see pics on this awesome party! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-special-for-your-30th/page/2#post-1606802 Thu, 01 May 2014 19:27:54 +0000 78h2o 1606802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to give a paper presentation at a big conference on my 30th bday - which sucked, because I hate public speaking. But, the conference was in Chicago where my sister lived. We stayed at the conference hotel, which was really swanky. My parents flew there from OR and surprised me, and I went out to dinner with my parents, sister, BIL, and boyfriend (DH). DH took me shopping and bought me a very nice necklace. When I got back, my friends had a surprise party for me...though I accidentally found out about it and wasn't really surprised. It was still a lot of fun though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-special-for-your-30th/page/2#post-1606387 Thu, 01 May 2014 17:15:41 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 1606387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: That sucks :( sorry you had a crappy situation too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-special-for-your-30th/page/2#post-1606364 Thu, 01 May 2014 16:56:39 +0000 alohaorchid 1606364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to Vegas for mine!

It was a Saturday and I had to work PR at this huge shopping event in the Hamptons (trust me, this sounds A LOT better than it was). It was muggy and gross and I was running around like a moron. Then I was told I'd have to go into the office the next day to send out pictures to the press, etc. So I remember my husband (then fiance) came with me on Sunday to the unlit, un-airconditioned office until I got my work done, then took me out to lunch. What a trooper ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-special-for-your-30th/page/2#post-1606286 Thu, 01 May 2014 16:04:14 +0000 mrs. 64 1606286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was really bummed because I was planning on getting together with some out of town friends but it didn't work out. My family threw me a very low-key but lovely surprise English tea party themed party and I was shocked. It was great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-special-for-your-30th/page/2#post-1606159 Thu, 01 May 2014 15:17:13 +0000 KT326 1606159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyLayneAZ: I feel ya! My 30th was last year and we were supposed to rent a cabin but then all my friends flaked after we paid the deposit! Luckily we were still able to cancel and instead hubby and I went somewhere else and ended up meeting a chef that was a contestant on Hell's Kitchen. Friends were supposed to meet us there but they flaked too. I'm still very bitter about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-special-for-your-30th/page/2#post-1606137 Thu, 01 May 2014 15:11:30 +0000 skipra 1606137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was pregnant so no partying but we did go to Florida to visit family and the following month DH took me to Nantucket as bday/anniversary/babymoon present. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-special-for-your-30th/page/2#post-1606123 Thu, 01 May 2014 15:06:56 +0000 Mommy Finger 1606123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Instead of going out to dinner with my friends or throwing a part at a bar, we hired a personal chef and had a grown up dinner party at my friend's house.

SIL and BIL went to Vegas with a bunch of friends (DH and I included). It was awesome! We all did super touristy things since we're not big gamblers/clubbers. Plenty of alcohol though.</p> <p>My cousin had a big 'wine crawl' with 5 wineries in Temecula. They have one of those huge 16+ passenger white vans, so her husband was the DD and drove all our drunk butts around. We did it Mardi Gras themed, so we were in masks and beads and gold... It was amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-special-for-your-30th/page/2#post-1605929 Thu, 01 May 2014 13:52:02 +0000 ShootingStar 1605929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friends threw me a surprise party, which was awesome.

Junior prom we didn't, senior prom we did. My class was known to be a party class and had several drinking infractions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-anything-special-for-your-30th/page/2#post-1605814 Thu, 01 May 2014 13:23:53 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1605814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: happy birthday!!!</p> <p>I am trying to learn to not hate my birthday. Six years ago, I was turning 24 and my aunt died of cancer. It was also the same day DH and I were moving in together. I remember having this gut feeling something was wrong on the 1st and I called her in the middle of the day. She had no idea who I was, and I sobbed the rest of the afternoon. Late that night, she called me on my cell. She was lucid and sang me happy birthday. She told me how much she loved me and said whenever i am sad to look at the stars because she will be among them making sure I am happy. She died the next day, on my birthday. I found out as DH and I were getting our moving van. </p> <p>Chloe's middle name is after her. I miss her lots but especially today/tomorrow. </p> <p>She'd kick my ass half way around the world if she knew I was sad! She loved to party for her bday. </p>
