Turning 30 was great! I never "dreaded it" like some people told me I would. If anything I was excited and okay with saying goodbye to my 20's. If I knew it was going to be this great, I would have welcomed it a lot sooner
Birthdays never last a day, and I'm okay with that! (except for my waistline, which had a rough birthday month..haha)! Nick was able to come to AZ to help me celebrate which of course made turning 30 that much better!
It started with the traditional birthday potluck at work. We always have lemon cake no matter whose birthday, because it is THAT good!
I love these two crazies...the other RDH at my office with me
Poor Nick he never gets to come to town without some kind of appointment, although this was an exciting one! He finished his invisalign. He kept getting annoyed with me because I kept sticking my fingers in his mouth, but I cannot get over how awesome his smile looks :)
The lovely after photos. haha
The night of Friday August 23rd we went to dinner with some friends and then headed back to our house to play games. We came home, I walked in the door to much surprise!
I love my friend Kristina's face in this photo, she helped Nick pull this off!
Several friends had cameras and sent me 100's of pictures from the night. I went through and posted a few of my favorites for blogging sake. I have the best friends a girl could ask for. So many people came and went including my boss! haha, a little drama with that as I guess one of the first things I said as I walked in the door to my house and saw him was, "what are you doing here!" lol. I guess I mildly hurt his feelings....oops! I just wasn't expecting to walk in my house to see him standing in my living room.
These are a few girls that I go to boot camp with and of course our trainer is in the blue tank top looking all ripped! Love these ladies and they keep me so motivated.
My good friend and neighbor, Brittney, was another big help to Nick to pull this off.
Kim and Rachelle--haha.
Love the props and photo backdrop
This girl...just love her! Caitlin did so much for this party and she has always been such a great friend to me. This is after everyone left and we are trying to clean up at the crack of dawn! lol
Spoiled with birthday flowers
A few of my co-workers who came
My hygiene girls
My friend and co-worker is also from Louisville. Always have to represent you know :)
Opening up my present from Nick--a surprise trip to Sedona, AZ and the Grand Canyon. He wrote an entire itinerary and gave it to me. We left the next morning.
I love his smile here. He was loving this night as much as I was
Ahhh, such a fun night!
A few days later my co-workers wanted to take me out for dinner. To be honest, by this point I was kind of birthday'ed out. Lol. So a few of us went out and it was fun to have my sister join us who was in Phoenix literally for a day.
Everyone needs fried ice cream and a birthday sombrero, right?!
Surprise, yet again! My whole office pitched in and got me a very generous gift card to Kate Spade. Fancy!!! Totally unnecessary and unexpected but I love them for it anyways.
Such an amazing birthday. Nick and I left early on the morning of my actual birthday for the surprise Sedona trip. More on that next!
