The Big 3-0

Well, as of August 1st, I am no longer in my 20’s… I have realized in the past few weeks how spoiled I am to have the friends and family that I do…. they have made my birthday lots of fun.

Damon and I took a short trip to Dallas to relax and for my “birthday dinner” Damon took me to my favorite restaurant, The Grand Lux Cafe. If you haven’t been before, I hear that it is a sister restaurant to The Cheesecake Factory. The food is amazing and I literally have never tried something that wasn’t incredibly delicious.

 When we got home from Dallas, Damon and the kids surprised me with lots of little gifts that had fun significance to our family and each had a numbered page that described the fun gift. I realized at the end that the last number was 30 for me turning 30. Thank you, Damon for all the work you put into that for me…

On the 3rd, we had a fun birthday party for Isaiah, Summer, Me and Andi since we all had birthdays in the last few weeks. We thought since Damon was the only one without a birthday that he should cook for us! He did grill our steaks, but we helped him out with other things to go with them!

Avery loved the cake so much!!! She even has it in her ear!

Then, we got to celebrate my birthday with my parents, Andi and Granny in Plainview. They made all my favorite foods and I think I gained 5 pounds just that night…chicken fried steak, cream potatoes and one of my favorite pies, Peach with crumb topping!! I think I gained another 5 pounds just thinking about it again! :)  We even got Granny to play tennis on the Wii.

Last Sunday, I even got to have another birthday get-together with Damon’s family. They took me out to eat at Red Lobster and then GG made my favorite cake, homemade strawberry!! YUM! I don’t have a picture of our time together, but we had a lot of fun.

Needless to say, I need to go on a diet! :)

See? I am SO spoiled! My birthday lasted a whole week! :)  Thank you to everyone that made me feel so special on my “turning 30” birthday!
