We got up semi-early, had breakfast, went to church, and then to mom and dad's to celebrate my upcoming birthday day. We had Chinese take-out, a cotton candy Blizzard cake, and even Pin the Tail on the Donkey (thanks to my nephew Daniel). It all seemed like such a normal day...until we got home. We were supposed to be joined by Seth's parents for pizza for dinner. Instead, I was greeted by the finest...my family and friends! Surprise!!! What overwhelming joy. I didn't know what to say, so it was hugs for everyone...all around the room. We ate, had cake, laughed and talked...well, a few watched football! :) My husband and friends worked so hard to make sure each detail was perfect...from black flowers on the cake to a spider pinata just for me (filled with Hershey kisses). Oh, it's scary how well they know me! My father-in-law made yummy lasagna and everyone brought food to share. Everything was amazing! To top it all off, Seth did finish my craft room. It is absolutely perfect. I can't wait to get to work on my scrapbooking...I'm way behind. I didn't take many pictures at the party, but will post some soon. Hopefully, I'll get some pics from all of the wonderful people that were there.
What a day! I think what hit me the most wasn't that I was turning 30, but that there were so many people who thought enough of me to take time to share in this celebration with me...moved me to tears!!!

I couldn't believe I had to miss it. I woke up thinking about you and even mentioned to Chris over dinner "Today is Dana's party!" I am SO glad you had such a wonderful time.
Love you much dear friend! Happy 30th!!
