I was a little bit dreading this birthday. I don't know why- everyone says turning 30 is great. I just wasn't feeling the love. However, Chris and my parents turned it into one of the best birthdays ever! I wish I could post pics but we forgot our camera. I know my father in law took some so I have to wait until he gets here this weekend and beg some off of him.
We drove down to Kansas on Thursday. The kiddos were really great the whole ride. We had to stop at few of Chris' dealers in Iowa. I bribed them with McDonald's ice cream and movies. When we got to my inlaws, we had a nice dinner out and cake at their place. YUM! If you know me, you know cake is very important to me. We made it down to Wichita the next day and I spent a full afternoon of shopping with just my mom. We don't get to spend much one on one time together. We visited a few places that aren't great to take kids (Lucindas and Aspen Boutique).
On Saturday I was told to be ready at 10 and that was it! I tried my best to get my days schedule but no one was budging. I spent the morning at Healing Waters getting a nice massage. Heaven! I then got a manicure and pedicure. At this point, I think it was the longest I had been away from Allie in a year. My brother picked me up and we went to lunch at Mike's Wine Dive. So yummy! I had their steak salad and really it couldn't have been yummier. I spent the rest of the afternoon with my bro just hanging out.
Chris picked me up for what I thought was dinner. We headed to Bonefish Grill for drinks. I had their pomegrante martini and it was delish! I need to learn to make those myself. To my surprise, our good friends Scott and Erin met us there. It was so nice of them to come down for my birthday! After drinks, we headed to my parents where a surprise party was waiting for me! Thanks everyone for coming. I had the BEST time. We don't always get to see everyone when we are in town so this was a great way to do it.
I am looking forward to my 30's. Who knows what it will bring or what new states we will end up in?
