surprise! {the story of turning 30}

20 Apr

It started with staying the night in the city. Kids with the grandparents {thank you!!!}

A birthday dinner planned in the city with my brother and his fiance and my sister and her hubs.

We ate at The Sexton {best. fried. chicken. ever}.

My birthday card from my mom {given to me by Jer at dinner} said she was gifting me with another night in the city sans kids!

Then Jer’s card said we were going to go shopping for some new digs and go to a fancy-shmancy dinner he had planned for the two of us!

Um. Sounds like an amazing plan, right?

Well it got better.

After a Sounders game,

shopping at Anthro for a dress {and polka dot tights!}

I got all dressed up. Got in a cab headed for a super secret lo-cal. We were dropped off at an average looking restaurant called Grimms, but Jer took the lead- we headed straight up the tucked away stairs to a room filled with some of my very favorite people on earth.

It was truly an amazing SURPRISE.

All night long I had the chance to talk with friends and family,

drink my special cocktails,

laugh.

smile.

In the Butterfly Room. A room surrounded by hundreds of butterflies in vases. It was spectacular.

Post party we headed up another flight of stairs to the DANCE PARTY in the Woodland Room.

Yes, we danced liked fools, till our feet ached in the late night club.

We finished the night with a taco truck.

And man. It was the night of my life.

Thank you to all the wonderful loves of my life who trekked all the way, found child care for the kiddos, who came to celebrate silly ‘ole me.

And a very special thank you to Jerbear.

For knowing me best.

For loving me best.

For always, always, always finding ways to make my heart sing, my dreams to come true, my life to be more full then I could have possibly dreamed.

I am the lucky one.

xoxoxo.
