Great Weekend - Turning 30

So, today August 31st, 2010 - I turned 30 years old - I don't feel any older... and that makes me happy, but the thing that has been best about this birthday is all the people that have helped me to celebrate, starting last Thursday night when my sweet husband decided to throw me a surprise birthday party -

The Evening was filled with Cake, Pizza and great times with family and friends

I was greeted by about 20 different friends and family - Steve wanted to make sure that I felt surrounded by love this birthday and he did a fabulous job!

Following such a great surprise party - I was able to spend Friday evening with friends at a movie, and then dinner.
Saturday was a fun filled day at the Steve's work summer picnic and 5K
The race was a family affair - Steve's brother was in charge, Spencer, Kim, Me, Steve, Evan and Perry each completed at least part of the race - Steve set a personal best as far as time goes - I am so proud of what a great job he is doing in controlling his health.

Saturday night, I was able to go to dinner with my Dad, Grandma and Steve, last night my book club celebrated my birthday, today at work some friends took me out for lunch and tonight Steve's parents took us out to dinner. 

Most of you reading this probably already know that I was concerned about celebrating  my birthday without my mom around, but I must say that my family and friends did everything they could to insure it was  great day, and week.   I still miss her and of course I miss the daily calls, and today especially I miss her calling to sing me a Happy Birthday!  But, I am so grateful for all the wonderful people in my life, and I know that she is grateful to them as well.  Thanks Everyone - here's to my 30's!!!
