So I was going to wait until after writing all our thank you notes before posting this. If I wrote the post before I would have forgotten and had many friends and family mad at me. As of Sunday night they are done, just need stamps and to get tossed in the mail.
If you recall D and I turned 30 over this summer. He was fine with it.....I had a hard time. I guess in my "plan" of how our lives would go, I thought that we would be in a different place when we turned 30. I have since realized that God has a different plan for us, and just need to let it follow through. For a month or so, D's mom kept saying that they were going to take us to the club for a nice dinner for our birthday. My mom had come out to spend time with me for mine, so I just thought that it was the birthday celebration from his family. Our birthdays our 20 days apart. The date kept getting changed and we were none the wiser. We had relaxed all day and then got ready to head over to my in-laws house for "a glass of wine" before dinner. We walk in the front door and down the hall way I see two hands holding a cell phone pointed at us. We were both immediately suspicious and cautiously made our way down the hallway.
We turned the corner and saw about 40 of our closest friends and family, They yelled surprise and we both jumped, well at least I did. Family from all over the state, friends from high school and new friends all were there. It was quite a surprise. We spent the entire evening conversing and catching up with old friends as well as eating some great food, and of course a cocktail or two. My brother-in-law may have made my drinks a little stronger than I am used too and I felt a little under the weather the next day.
There was Wii bowling and snuggling with our god daughter and we had such a great time and are so grateful to have such wonderful family to help plan such a great party and friends who love us so much. A big thanks to my mother-in-law who planned the whole shebang. Now for the photo dump!
