This weekend was summer solstice here in Santa Barbara, and in true form the sun did show its face... finally! I think everyone in town was in a better mood just being able to enjoy some great weather and feel like summer has now officially started. I can't think of a better time to have a birthday. My sister-in-law, Linda turned the big 3-0 on Saturday so of course we had to celebrate in style. James and I hosted an intimate grouping of her closest friends and our family here at the house. We had so much fun throwing this party for Linda. I am so blessed to have a sister and to see my brother so happy. They make the cutest couple. Linda honey, you may be 30 now but it only gets better from here! You are gonna rock your 30s!
Congratulations!
