Suprise! Celebrating 30 Years

I turned 30- don't know where the time has gone, but it's here- the BIG 3-0! I thought I would be more sad about leaving my 20's, but really I am so excited about this next stage in my life!

 

To celebrate the big day, little did I know, Brett (and our parents), worked super hard to pull off the best surprise EVER! I knew we were doing something to celebrate, but I wasn't sure what it was going to be. Brett told me to get dressed up and be ready by a certain time. I was then blindfolded and driven what seems like all around the city! Once we arrived at our final destination, Perry's Steakhouse, I could take off my blindfold. We were escorted to what I thought was our table, only to realize- I walked into a room FILLED with family and friends singing Happy Birthday! Tears just started coming (thanks pregnancy)! You could not imagine all the love I felt at that moment. Friends and family traveled in from Dallas, San Antonio, lifelong friends from elementary school through college all there to celebrate. I am truly blessed to have such wonderful people in my life!=) You all mean more to me than you will ever know!

 

We had the entire "wine room" to ourselves, and the night was just perfect. We enjoyed absolutely fabulous appetizers and dinner, followed by, of course, a yummy birthday dessert. Then came the toasts and memories from over the years- I think I cried through it all! Thanks to everyone who shared.

 

Thanks could never be enough for my wonderful husband who pulled off the special night all amid a new job, moving to Houston, selling a house, building a house, and waiting for the arrival of our baby girl (just a few stresses, right?). And thanks to my parents for the wine, beautiful flower centerpieces, and pictures- they brought back so many memories. And my mother-in-law for creating the beautiful invites, and party favors! I am truly blessed to have everyone of you in my life.

Thanks for making the big 3-0 a night I will remember and cherish forever!=)

 

**I was so busy talking and enjoying the night, I barely took any pictures, so here are the few I have. I know others have some, so if you do please pass them along my way, I would love to see them.
