Turning 30...

I can't believe I am 30, crazy! I sure felt special this year, my birthday was celebrated with family and friends a few different times.

About a week before my birthday I went to The Cheesecake Factory with my best girlfriends, Ann, April, and Kristy. We had a great time doing what we do best, chit chatting, laughing, and eating good food. Thanks girls for a fun night! Do you LOVE the random waiter in the background of our picture?


Saturday morning (a few days before my actual birthday) I went yard saling with my mom and sister. My mom at the beginning forewarned me she needed to be back home to her house by 11:15 for a church activity, therefore she needed to drop me back off by 11:00. All morning we kept track of the time so my mom would not be late for her church activity. We had a great morning looking for good deals. At our last yard sale (one we were going to pass due to time) I found a desk, yeah! I have been looking and looking to buy a desk for quite sometime, so this was by far the best yard sale of the morning for me. When we arrived at my house, my mom and sister helped me carry some things in I had purchased. I was so excited to tell Bryce about the desk, but when I opened the door I looked up and saw a bunch of family and friends shouting "SURPRISE"! I could not believe it, Bryce threw a surprise party for me, and I had absolutely NO clue. I hear my reaction was pretty funny, I opened the door and was so alarmed I started to close the door because it kinda scared me, haha! We had a big breakfast feast that included pancakes, sausage/bacon, and fruit. It was sooooo yummy, I LOVE breakfast foods. My birthday cake was a fruit pizza, it was delicious. I had a great time celebrating with my family and friends.





Bryce decided to give me my birthday present that morning. He handed me five different pictures on individual pieces of paper and told me to figure out the puzzle.


Did you guess it? The puzzle when put in the right order read Shakespeare Festival Tickets. Bryce bought us tickets to the Shakespeare Festival this summer. We get to see three different shows, I'm so excited! Thanks Bryce for making my birthday so awesome, I love you so much!

My actual birthday (Monday) Bryce took the day off from work. We spent the day running errands and getting things done. We then had a late lunch/early dinner at Red Robin. We love that restaurant, so tasty.


The day after my birthday I went to dinner with some great friends from church. We went to Chili's, yummy. Thanks girls for a fun night, I had a great time!


The weekend came and I was lucky to have a date night with my hubby. We went to Tucano's, saw The Hunger Games, and enjoyed u-swirl together. The food was delicious, the movie was awesome, and the frozen yogurt was perfect. We had a great night together alone with no kiddos.



Thank you to EVERYONE who made my birthday spectacular, I feel so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life!

Happy Happy Birthday! Sounds like you had a ton of fun celebrating. I have never thought to have a brunch birthday party, what a great idea. And might I add that you look a heck of a lot cuter when you head out to garage sales than I ever do, I'm usually barely even dressed!
Happy 30th!

Your reaction is pretty great in that first picture and I totally thought the same thing...you garage sale looking super cute! It almost must be an Arnold thing to LOVE breakfast because we do to. It doesn't matter if we have it for dinner too. Happy 30th Birthday! Great way to bring in your 30's!
