I
LOVE my birthday. Anybody who knows me
knows I LOVE my birthday. I start counting
down about 50 days in advance. It used
to be something I did with my Grandmother before she passed away and I just
like to keep bugging people by continuing to count down.
I
can’t remember a time when I wasn’t celebrating my birthday, wearing a funny
hat, or enjoying the day with my family.
Our tradition used to be to meet for pizza with all the aunts, uncles,
and grandparents. So, for my 30th
Birthday I knew I wanted to have a pizza party but I also wanted to go
ROLLER SKATING!!!
I
heard every excuse in the book from my adult friends worrying about falling and
breaking a bone. But the truth is, they
enjoyed it just as much as I did!
Everybody enjoyed it so much that I have held my birthday at the roller
skating rink for the past three years now.
It is an annual event that everybody looks forward to.
We
started the party at Idaho Pizza Company.
They were really great in accommodating our large group and the banquet
room was free if you spent $100 in pizza.

My
friend Jamie makes amazing cakes. She
actually made me two: my favorite German Chocolate and also a lemon with
raspberry filling.
Once
the pizza party finished, it was time for roller skating. The only rink left open in the area is Roller
Drome in Nampa. This is the same rink we
used to go to as kids to skate over the summer months. It hasn’t changed one bit!
