The Big 3-0 (Long overdue)

So last Wednesday, St. Patrick's Day I turned 30. I don't feel like an old woman but when I say it out loud it seems so old. It was by far my most favorite birthday because of my huge birthday surprise which was orchestrated by my wonderful and amazing hubby. I was convinced that we wouldn't be going anywhere. I took him to Chicago for his 30th birthday but funds are tight and my mom's teaching semester just started so needless to say taking time off wasn't really realistic. However, he managed to work everything out.



I got a call at 3:50 pm on my birthday and it was him saying that they were going to be in the parking lot in about 10 minutes. I hurried and packed everything up and checked in with my boss who was in on the whole thing. My mom, the boys and R were out in the parking lot. We hugged and they wished me happy birthday and then R whisked me off to the airport........We were going to F.t. La.uderdale, my old home!!!!!!!



We spent three wonderful nights and two whole days back home, or at least it sure feels that way when we go back. It was amazing because we got to go to all our favorite places, mostly. The weather was just okay but I wasn't complaining. We were kid free and I got two days off from work. It was just what the dr. ordered because work has been insane lately.



We arrived late Wednesday night and just went to my uncle's house and went to bed. We had my uncle's house to ourselves because he's always at his "partner's" house and his house is like a 5 star hotel. We got up and went to breakfast on the beach Thursday morning and then went to my FAVORITE mall in the whole world. It had been forever since I'd really been shopping at a nice mall. I found some sweet deals on clothes that were on super sale. We got to eat lunch at my FAVORITE fast food restaurant Chick-F.il- A, OMG I LOVE, LOVE that place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



That night my uncle and his partner came over and we went to dinner at my absolute most favorite restaurant in Sou.th F.L., it's called Hou.stons. It was a great dinner and it was so nice to spend time with my uncle and N. We called it a night after dinner and went to bed.



On Friday we woke up and put on our running gear and drove the 30 minutes to our old town that we lived in for two years. We ran our old running route, at breakfast at Ein.stein's, my most favorite bagel joint :) and then walked all around town taking pictures of everything. It hadn't changed too much and I can honestly say that I missed it so much!!!!!!



We came back and soaked up some rays because it was pretty nice on Friday. That night we met my best friend, J at the basketball game watch for our wonderful college. We belonged to the Sou.th F.L Alumni club when we lived down there so we knew a lot of people and it was a central location to meet J. We had a great time, they won, and I got to spend time with my bestest friend!!!!!!! We headed home afterwards and then hit the sack because we had to be at the airport early the next morning.

It was the best birthday ever!!!!! I love my husband so much!
