What a Weekend!!!

I can't even begin to tell you how wonderful my 30th birthday was...

Where do I even start? Well it all started with lunch up at Stacey's house with all my sister-in-law's and cousins--kind of a tradition with the family for each others birthdays. Alisa brought the most delicious Italian Sodas, Natalie picked up Chili's for all, and Jenn made her famous oatmeal fudge bars. So Yummy! We are all outside getting ready to dig in and all of a sudden....I look in the doorway and here comes..jumping up and down, all my sisters and Mom singing Happy Birthday!! First of all, you have to know that I have 4 sisters and they all live all over the place.
1 in CA, 2 in MT, and 1 in UT--my Mom's in UT too. So you can imagine my thoughts when I first saw them here in DENVER--where I live---it was crazy. I couldn't believe my eyes--literally. THey all said I looked so confused at first, and then it all registered that each one of them were here --at Stacey's house in CO!!!!!!! After it all settled in I started hugging each one of them --I couldn't help myself and started bawling!! Now for many of you who know me very well, I don't do that too often, so that just tells you how much this meant to me. (my mom made sure to tell everyone that I started crying--because it was that big of a deal) Oh how I love my Family!!!!

This all came about by My wonderful husband Mike and my cutest sister-in-law Stacey--who says she has been planning my 30th birthday for 2 years now. They both called all of my sisters a couple months before to throw out the idea and they were all on board that day--booked their flights that same day and were ready to keep a secret--and boy did they do a good job. I had even spent a week with most all of them in UT just 2 weeks before and not 1 of them gave any clues as to what was going down! I have never been so suprised in my life!! So after I got over the shock, we ate our lunch and then went down to my house to pack my bags to stay at the Jones' Resort(as all of my sisters referred to it as). Garrett and Stacey were so generous in allowing all of us girls to take over their house for the whole weekend, while they camped out at my house with Mike and all the 8 kids(that's a sacrifice in itself)!

Oh did we enjoy ourselves from enjoying our individual lotions on our pillows, our favorite treats delivered right to our door by Mike( which is a huge sacrifice for him to even step foot in a grocery store) to playing games, to laying out by the pool, sitting in the hot tub, using their workout room, to watching a movie in their Theater, reading lots of books, and plenty of eating, etc...Then to top it all off, Mike took us all to dinner on Friday and then arranged to have all the girls get pedicures together the next morning! I was in Heaven.. this was the best birthday I could ever dream of!! I couldn't have wished for anything more, there is nothing better than being able to enjoy all my sisters and Mom for 4 days straight with no distractions. It had to have been the most perfect present ever...Thanks babe! I love you!!

Thanks to all my family who made it possible to make this the most memorable day in my life!! It will never be forgotten!
