The Big 3-0

As you know, I turned 30 this past Saturday! I had a wonderful birthday, thanks to this handsome man. Nate planned a great party for me. He reserved a room at the local bowling alley and about 45 people attended. About half of that number were children under the age of 4! It was like a romper room with kids running/crawling all over the place.:) It was great and the kids (and adults) had a blast. Nate planned some group games. For example, people got up and told two truths and one lie about me and people had to guess which one was the lie. Nothing too embarassing was brought to light.:) We then had an Italian buffet dinner and of course an awesome cake! I love cake. Nate also asked everyone to bring 30 of something as a gift. I got a ton of Jelly Belly's (they're my favorite candy) and chocolates. I'm tempted to weigh the bag of Jelly Belly's. That way if I gain 20 lbs in the next couple of months I'll know where it came from! I also received some funny and thoughtful gifts. One of my friends was kind enough to remind me that I'm only 20 years away from joining the AARP, fabulous!;) When I get some pictures of the party I'll post them. Thank you to all of you for being a part of my life!

Guilty for the AARP comment - my dad is always telling people how far away they are from AARP :) It was a great party - thanks for letting us celebrate with you.

We had tons of fun! I could probably help with the candy, if you're feeling overwhelmed. :)
