Last night my wonderful husband had planned a surprise birthday party to celebrate my 28th birthday (which was Thursday....October 28...so actually my "golden" birthday). It was DEFINITELY golden...it was an amazing, amazing birthday. I am so blessed...and so thankful for so many amazing people in my life. Here's a picture, not the greatest one from the evening...but it shows at least everyone who was there last night (other than me, of course! ;))...
I'll start in the far left corner and work my way around the table...Jen and Matt, Danny and Meg, Jamie and Brooke, Jeremy, Jon (Jeremy's brother), Aaron and Katie, Dan and Laura, Chuck, Paul and Lisa, Jason and Ashley, Lynden and Jillian, and Steve and Jamie! WOW! There were 22 of us in all! The outpouring of love displayed by these people truly floored me. Jen and Matt traveled 3-ish hours, Meg and Danny traveled 2.5-ish hours, Aaron and Katie traveled about two hours, Dan traveled 2 hours from Purdue, Jamie and Brooke traveled two hours., Jason and Ashley traveled an hour from Peoria...
WOW! So, half of the guests had to make some sort of really large travel committment just to come to the party. Pretty incredible.
It was an amazingly fun night. I want to do it again once a month! ;) It was the best birthday present ever...having so many of my favorite people together in one room, all eating yummy pizza and talking/laughing/having a great time....fun, fun, fun :).
LOVE you all! :)
