The BIG '30'

Well, it is official... I am now 30 years old! Normally I would have pictures to post, but I didn't take any as I let the family take care of that! Hopefully they will share with me soon!'

I had the best birthday ever thanks to my family... Katie got the ball rolling months ago and did a really great job of putting things together!

The day started with Bryan making me a yummy breakfast and then I headed to Abbotsford where Mom, Julie, Katie and I had a very memorable lunch at an Irish Pub... anyone want lamb, onions or glass?! We then headed over to the mall where everyone helped pick out some new clothes for me (mom's gift)... no I did not get anything shiny or with puffy sleeves! Next was Julie's house where I got help openning presents from my niece Cali. She sat on my lap and helped pull tissue paper out of the bags even though she had a cold, so cute. I was then rushed out the door so I could get home in enough time to change and get ready to head out to the mystery dinner location with Bryan to meet up with the rest of the family! I was very excited to find out dinner was to be at the revolving restaurant at the Harbor Centre in Vancouver. It was an awesome night, beautiful view, delicious food and great company. All the important people in my life were there (exception of Lilah & Cali). It was the best birthday ever!

Many thanks to...

Katie & Ian for the great new clothes! I love the Lululemon Jacket, Juicey Couture Velure pants and knit hat, Lulu gift cert and headband... it is all awesome!

Julie & Greg for the cozy new pink and white blanket (that is currently keeping me warm) I love it! How did you know I had been eyeing new blankets lately??

Cali for the super soft pink princess slippers... who would have ever thought I would have to share my 'princess' title? :)

Aaron, Stephanie & Lilah for the wonderful Mac Makeup kit and Starbucks gift card... both of which will be used and loved completely!

Mom for the fun shopping trip and the great new clothes picked out... I can't wait to get my new sweaters and I have already worn the new white hoody... it is soooo comfy!

Elliott for the money which will be put towards the cost of my upcoming payroll course! Also for taking pictures on my special night, thank you... that was quite the treat, I am not used to being the subject of the camera!

Dad & Jeanie for the great gift certificates to Ricki's, Le Chateau and Starbucks (how did you know?!) I can't wait to go shopping. Also for paying for Bryan and my meal tonight, it was a special treat, thank you.

Bryan for being the best boyfriend ever (of course) and for our upcoming brunch in White Rock with shopping trip to follow, I can't wait!! Thank you also for the beautiful flowers!

Special thanks... to Katie for making everything happen even though you are ready to have my very first nephew at any moment. It means alot to me that you would plan such a great night for me. Thank you.

I am sad that Grandma was not around to see her first grandchild turn 30, but I am sure she was watching from some where...

Thank you again to everyone, I truly had a great time today and am so glad to have shared it with such a great family!
