My mom was that mom that threw the RAD themed birthdays. Ballerinas, jungle madness, cowgirls, luau and the infamous slumber party's, mine were kinda legendary. The handful of childhood friends that I do have, to this day pull out the ol "remember that one time at your birthday..". Not to mention I was the first to have a birthday party were we did the oh so scandalous "tping", but little did we know my mom had discussed it before hand with what ever boys house was the victim.
Well I missed those days.. and relived it this past weekend. BBQ, pinata, games, party hats, bubbles, play-do and beer pong, oo that one doesn't fit. So just a few of my favorite people, low key and gangster status. I'm pretty blessed with the friends I have in Portland andddd all over the world. All of them so different and always interesting when I have a gathering like this because these people of all different backgrounds and interest, only come to together on these events. It makes me laugh that there's always a ton of introduction or "yea i met you at Claire's... last year". A few times a year I can drag my girls, snowboarding homies, my atheist best friend, homofied NYC boy, God's best friend, high school friends, blister loving rock climber, childhood friends, photo snappin nomad and fellow friends who frequent science classes.. allll together. All so different, all so great.
That variety of gifts was amazing. Everyone had gotten me something from a memory and certain thing the know about me, therefore all being so different. On thought of this blog of birthday, I turn to recognition my wonderfully crazy zodiac sign of gemini. It makes sense that my key traits of being a gemini are change loving, people loving, freebird like tendency to have this variety in my life.
oh and happy belated birhday to RENA MURRAY. Not an accident that we were born one year and one day apart.
