Aside from presents, I don’t really enjoy the things you would associate with a milestone birthday – a big party, lots of people and being center of attention. I’ve also lived half my adult life in the UK and half in the US – so pulling everyone together is challenging. Taking all of this into consideration I’m declaring July “Birthday Month” and throwing three small parties rather than one big one.
I’m planning Tapas and then a night out in London with my English friends. I’m going to spend my actual birthday at home with my family – we are having a party in the garden - fingers crossed it’s a beautiful summer evening. Then I’ll finish it all off with a weekend of fun in Charlotte with my America friends. I’ve rented a house on Lake Norman so we can swim, grill and play. I’m really excited for birthday month!
