Birthday to remember

Everything is from the Celebrate Life Collab. Font is Betsy. Journaling reads:
What better way is there to spend your 30th birthday than in a funeral home? I wouldn't know because that is where I spent mine! I really wasn't dreading turning 30 - I didn't feel old although there were a number of things I had thought I would have done by then that I hadn't (and still haven't). But spending the day with a room full of mostly strangers at my mother-in-law's wake and then funeral was certainly not something I had ever imagined. I do remember that my husband insisted we go out to dinner with his brother and family since it was my birthday. The general consensus from everyone was that we would have rather stayed home. We went to my mother-in-law's favorite restaurant so it was a good time for the brothers to remember some fun times with their mother. I guess it was a good way to spend my 30th birthday since it prepared me for the utter nothing-ness of my 40th birthday. Honestly, birthdays just aren't fun for me. Other people's are, but not mine. I enjoy being the giver of gifts, not the recipient. But lest anyone make plans for my 50th, please keep in mind that I'd really rather not spend the day at a funeral home again! Let's maybe try the circus or something next time...
I was going to scrap about my 30th birthday, which was also my hen night, but I think your 30th definitely trumps mine story wise. Bizarre. Memorable. Beautifully scrapped.
 
great journaling of a special birthday! worth remembering eventhough you don't want to do it again.
 
the dark background really shows of the elements wonderfully ... I, too, hope you're 50th is a happier event when it arrives!
