THIRTY

Yikes!! John is 30....that is OLD :) I can say that for another 3 months until I hit the big 3-0!
In typical John style, he did not want a big "to do" about his birthday. We talked about a party and he just didn't want anything big, so I respected his wishes (even though I love to throw a big party!!) and we kept it to a small family dinner.
John's birthday (March 20) usually falls on my spring break which is nice! This year we didn't go anywhere, but John took off the day of his birthday to spend with us. We started with a family trip to the Starbucks drive thru and then got ready to go to the zoo! It was a very overcast day and a bit chilly for my liking but we enjoyed our morning there, complete with a train ride!
For lunch, we treated John to Momma G's....a favorite among all members in our family. Once we got home and put the boys down for naps, I set out to run some birthday errands. I made it easy on myself this year and ordered the food and the cake for our dinner instead of making a mess trying to cook up a storm when we had our families coming over. The cake was a surprise!

John's favorite food hands down is buffalo wings....so that is what he got! I ordered those from Billy's and made a few sides to go with it.

He had two pretty cute helpers to help him make a wish. 

 John, you are my biggest blessing from the Lord! I may not say it often, especially after eight years of marriage, but I can't imagine life without you. You are my favorite person in the whole world and even though you drive me nuts sometimes, I love you more! Thank you for your dedication to our family and for the example you set for Will and Alex every single day. I hope your thirtieth year is your best yet and filled with little blessings all along the way! I LOVE YOU!!
