Saturday was even more eventful; it started with a ball game with the kids, and then off to Chattanooga. Little did I know that my wonderful husband, mom, sister, and best friend had a little something up their sleeve. To throw me off, Kelly took me to Chattanooga for a day of eating, shopping, football watching, and a walk along the river-front. It was so much fun...all I wanted to do was to go home and hit the bed early! Not this weekend. After little convincing I agreed to dinner at the Dalton Depot with Jessica and Brent. We arrived to a huge surprise party and a room filled with all my closest friends and family!
Everyone put so much work in to this day for me; from Donna distracting me with the kids and getting them to a sitter, Heidi sending invites and trying her hardest to get me a sugar-free birthday cake, Jessica helping with a babysitter from the daycare to conspiring with Kelly to get me out of the house Saturday night, my mom who worked so hard on a beautiful wall of photo collages of me from birth to age 30 (with many embarrassing pictures--thanks mom :), to Kelly who footed all the leg work and the distress of keeping this huge secret from his curious wife to dodging phone calls from concerned party-goers all day on Saturday (I wondered why you left the room every time you would answer your phone) and for running me all over town on Saturday just to keep me distracted!
Thanks to all who made this such a wonderful 30th birthday. I wish I could take the time to reflect on 30 years of life, but i don't really know if I have all the words to express it. I am grateful for such a wonderful family and group of friends. I am truly blessed in this life and love you all very much! Thanks again to Kelly, my mom, Heidi, Donna and Jessica...you all mean the world to me!
Here are some pictures from the weekend:
My flowers and balloons that Heidi and Jessica sent me while at work!
My new co-workers took me to Los Reyes for a late lunch and a little local flare...
Ganny took me and the kids shopping and a trip to the car wash--here are the kids sitting on a 4-wheeler that was being auctioned off.
Out with the girls for dinner at Los Reyes...again
My SURPRISE party...what fun!
An end to a long day and a wonderful birthday!
