Earlier this week, I came of age :) One step closer to 30 and loving it. My birthday was a ball, pretty much a whole weekend of celebrations, so much love, so many gifts, so many blessings, I am overwhelmed. The girls always make a special effort on birthdays. Being away from family and friends from back home can be tough, so we really want everyone to feel loved and special on their big day. We consult the birthday girl about what she wants to do on her big day and we oblige, no matter how insane. When my turn came around, I wasn't sure how I wanted to celebrate as I enter my
late 20's (up until last week I still considered myself as
mid 20's LOL). And then it hit me. You know when you know so much about something it feels like you have first hand experience but in actual reality you have no idea? That was me and paintballing. I had heard so much about the fun and bruises, my mind was deceived into thinking I had done it before but I hadn't. I needed to make this right. We set the date, Paintball by
Hunger Games was on.
This is how it all went down:

Thank you to all the ladies who came out to have fun with me among the thorny bushes and shrubs and my sincerest apologies to a dear friend who got a bit seriously injured :(
Final thoughts
Birthdays are nature's way of telling us to eat more cake - Unknown
