I'm 30!

I had to blog about my birthday, just so I could remember all the great details of my 30th! We first celebrated with a weekend away in Monterey and Santa Cruz, which is how I requested to celebrate my birthday. I wanted some family time away with quality time with Michael away from work! On my actual birthday, I woke up to flowers from Michael and another bouquet from my mom and dad. I had a training for NUSD and my sweet girlfriends brought this delicious cake and threw me a mini birthday party during the break. My mom watched Maddie during the training and also long enough for me to go get a pedicure! That night, my dad joined us and we went to Paesano's for dinner. Later that week, my girlfriends planned a happy hour at Ella's downtown. Jill so graciously watched the kiddos so both Mallory and I could go. We had a great time visiting and enjoying delicious drinks and appetizers. A few of us stayed out and had dinner at Esquire Grill. I came home that night feeling very blessed and content with turning 30! Little did I know, Michael still had something up his sleeve! The next morning I woke up and Michael asked if I'd like to go out to breakfast. We drove across town to what Michael said was a new spot he wanted to try. I wasn't suspicious in the least... just looking forward to a breakfast date with my hubby! We arrived at a day spa where five of my closest girlfriends were waiting to surprise me with balloons and flowers! I was so shocked and surprised!! Michael had arranged for us all to have a day of beauty and we each got to choose 3 services to have done. I had a massage, pedicure and facial. It was delightful! We then went out to lunch at Piatti's and enjoyed more girl talk. Michael won the best husband award by far! He spoils me beyond belief and makes me feel so loved and appreciated all the time. I am so very blessed to have a wonderful husband and amazing friends. My 30th couldn't have been better!
