My Golden Birthday!

This year was my Golden Birthday. What's a golden birthday you ask? Well it's the age you turn on the date you were born. So I was born on the 30th and I turned 30. 

My sweet husband gave me the best golden birthday I could have ever imagined. He started the morning with pancakes and a cute birthday banner placed across or mantel. Then after spending the morning with us he left for work. But throughout the day he would send me texts saying. "Whatcha doin?" Then after I would reply with what I was doing he would say go look...(and then tell me to look for notes he had left throughout the house.) 

This little scavenger hunt was so fun! I had a smile on my face throughout the whole day. And I knew that even though he was at work he was still thinking of me all day. So sweet. 

Other than the random notes, I had a pretty typical day. Although...while Wells and I were laying in the grass after lunch  we found this awesome pirate ship in the sky...

The next evening we went out to dinner with our friends Ryan and Melanie Smith. We went to Market Street Grill and it was so fun to be with them. Then when we came home I walked into our house full of loved ones saying "SURPRISE!!!!".  My stomach did a little flip and my heart started racing!  I was so surprised!!!

Our kitchen was full of my best friends. It was so fun to see so many people from all walks of my life.  I couldn't get over that all of them would show up for me! It was just so sweet. 

So after talking to Wade he said that he had been planning this for about two and a half weeks. He had emailed everyone and had even made little invitations for people to hand out at church!!!!  

He asked our neighbor and good friend Tenille to help him with the decorations and treats and boy did he ask the right person. She really knows how to decorate for a party and she and my other neighbor and friend Natalie, made the best treats EVER!  

The only thing that I'm so sad about is that I didn't get more pictures of everyone. When almost everyone had gone I realized that I didn't take one photo, so here is one of the photos I got of my neighborhood friends. These ladies are absolutely amazing and I love each one of them. 

What an amazing weekend and what an amazing husband I have for making it that way.   

Here's to my next 30 years!!!
