Earlier this month we headed down to Bloomington to surprise our friend Abi on her 30th birthday. We lived down the hall from each other freshman year of college. According to math, that was 12 years ago, but I’m skeptical.

Luckily, the weekend was 100% celebrating the milestone and 0% having a third-life crisis. Abi is totally kicking 30’s ass. She can still do the splits and everything. I don’t plan on turning 30 myself, but Abi was a good role model nonetheless.

Anywho, this is what I wore for a night on the town, full of lots of college reminiscing. It was like we were young again, except classier and with a lower tolerance for alcohol.

On Friday night we went to the Lambda Legal benefit, which I didn’t even know was happening until the day before. Luckily, we had a friend who helped hook us up with tickets. (But I promise…once I have a job, I will donate to Lambda Legal and make up for all the free booze and cheese I consumed.) I’m so so glad we got to go, and not just because I like to hang out with lawyers. This was a really great year for marriage equality, and for once I actually got to enjoy the benefits instead of just celebrating other states’ changes from afar.

The event was packed with “celebrities” like Camilla Taylor, who made a big win in the 7th Circuit recently, and Beth White, my county’s clerk who kept her office open extra hours to let a ton of people get married in June (including me). OK, maybe they’re not celebrities by most people’s standards, but they are to me and to most of the people at the benefit!

Needless to say, there were lots of happy people and lots of celebration on Friday night. I can’t wait to see what we’re celebrating next year!
