The first time I ever went overseas was one of the best birthdays I ever had. I spent my 27th birthday exploring Madrid, Spain. I will never forget it because I was surrounded by friends in the most beautiful city I’ve been to.
Very happy was my daughter being born on the 13th instead of in the 16th (my day)!!
18th birthday with family and friends
My most memorable milestone birthday was my 29th because I defended my Ph.D. dissertation right before it meaning I would graduate before I turned 30. 🙂
In 2014 my sisters & I were in Disney World, and the youngest one got me a surprise pack from the hotel with a Birthday button to wear in the parks. It got us a few upgrades throughout the week. My favorite place with a little extra Magic!
For my 19th birthday (which is when you’re legal here), my nephew was born and my sister gave him the name I wanted.
Mine was 20. It was quite traumatic.
Not a good memory but a few days before my 15th birthday my uncle died.
I was 38 and moved from Michigan to the Greater Metropolitan Seattle Area to be with family.
My 55th birthday. My youngest graduated from university and my work finally was done!!!
I’ve only ever had one birthday party, my Sweet 16
My 40th birthday, I decided to fully embrace it and I had a lot of fun leading up to it as well as during.
Up until now, I’d say my first birthday living in the USA. My birthday is July 4th, and that has extra layers here as opposed to celebrating in Europe. Also, my family is always home with me to celebrate 🙂
Next year, though, I will celebrate my 50th and I am dreading it (although my husband keeps telling me each year that I celebrate my 43rd birthday). But no matter how you look at it, it is a milestone.
My 16th I went out to eat and had deep fried shrimp is was wonderful.
Surprise sweet 16 party
At 40, we hosted an Aug garden party, with picnic tables of food & lawn games
my sweet 16th getting my baby books and getting to keep them where i want them so could look at them anytime
My 36th Birthday, I married my Best Friend & continue to have a beautiful marriage.
60 and now retired in our new house love it
My 52nd. We were expecting our first grandchild.
My 30th ; my niece was born on my birthday
I don’t think I’ve had one that I would consider a milestone birthday. The closest I guess would be my niece’s birth.
Don’t have one
My 40th, my family did a nice dinner, presents and cake, no tombstones or black involved. However, when I left I fond they had stuffed my car full of black balloons, with my daughters help😹
my 30th which was the only one really celebrated. My fd manager and coworkers invited me for the night and my gm gave me diamond studs.
The second last one I had with My Daughter
50th when I met who would become my surgeon to remove the thyroid cancer.
My 21st.
Hubby was away so he sent me 21 red roses and I spent a week sneezing my head off. That’s when we found out I am allergic to most cut flowers. He gave me orchids only after that.
My most recent birthday was a pretty memorable I had a really nice dinner out with my sister and her girlfriend and had a great night
30th – graduated from law school
My 18th birthday party… long time ago. My friends threw me a surprise party… so much fun!
Im sorry to say, i dont have one yet.
When I turned 50, my Mother and Brother surprised me at my job. I lived in Ohio at the time and they were in California. It was AMAZING!!
The surprise party my friends and family threw me on my 40th.
So far – my 50th. I was in Portland with a friend and we had great costumes for the contest.
I would say the most memorable would be 55. A bunch of my friends took me out to dinner and then laughing because of the first time using my senior discount. 😂😂
