My sweet roommate, friends, and family threw an amazing surprise birthday for my big 3-0!! I cannot tell you how special it was...I think my face was sore from smiling so much! What a great way to start this new decade! I felt so loved...

Wow! That number is a big one!

I was SO SURPRISED!!!


Lots of yummy food:

And drinks....

My sweet sister and nephew who surprised me earlier in the day thanks to my dear friend, Rena Carolyn making sure they were there...another post on that later...


Dear friends...




my precious family who means the world to me (we missed you Nathan)!

Wonderful Co-workers...all Child Life Specialists

Poor Maggie cut her finger just before the party, and had to make a quick trip to the ER for some glue...

Loving my sweet little buddy...

What's a B-day without a birthday hat? :)
