surprise!

THIRTY.  I am now the big three-o.  Well, if birthday's are always this great, bring 'em on!

Rick, my Mom, and two besties (Jenn and Tammy), planned a *little* surprise for my birthday weekend. They planned a getaway trip to Arizona!  Rick didn't come, he wanted it to be a girl's weekend.  But what an unbelievably thoughtful husband he is!  He had it all planned with my boss for the time off and all the other little details. Yes, he even packed for me.  Everyone asks about that.  He did a great job packing and actually packed too much! It was an amazing weekend and I will never forget it.  We spent the weekend shopping, sun tanning, and some time out on the town.  It was so relaxing and what a great way to bring in the 30's.  I honestly feel like the luckiest lady to have the world's best friends, family and husband. 

At the airport, shirts and all!  Tammy and Jenn's say "30 sucks" with lollipops and my Mom's says "30 rocks" with rocks on it.  Mine had a picture of when I was a baby.

Swimming and trying to bake (ourselves)

All pretty and ready to hit the town

The girls and the most interesting man in the world.  Yes, the Dos Equis guy was there...ha.

The end of the night ready to go home.

Randomly they had a donkey outside one of the bars!?

Me and my Momma...and one big ass beer

Our last night out, it was a perfect ending

Finally, we managed to take a cactus picture at the airport. 
You can't go to Arizona without a cactus picture!
