Birthday Fun.

So turning 30 was not the wild and crazy party that my last several birthdays have been. No Yokohama Oktoberfest this year. Glenn asked me what I wanted to do on my birthday though and I was pretty lame, but I enjoyed it all the same. :)

I wanted to buy some pumpkins and flowers for the porch so we went out to a farm in Virginia Beach and picked up 4 large pumpkins and 2 yellow mums. I think they look pretty cute and unlike last time we lived in Norfolk (in 2007), they didn't get stolen 10 minutes after I put them out!

After enjoying the fall festivities, Glenn watched the Vikes, I worked on my curtains and then we got cleaned up for dinner. I thought we were just going to have a romantic dinner. Perhaps our friends, the Morans, would be there since I had mentioned it at the baby shower the day before (it was a Kelly-tastic weekend).

Glenn had arranged other plans though. Eight of our closest Norfolk friends were at Norfolk Chophouse to surprise me. Nine if you count tiny 2 month old John. We sat Homecoming dance style too. Boys on one side and girls on the other! :)
Glenn had special ordered cupcakes (Samoa girl scout cookie flavor, red velvet and carrot cake. Dang, he knows me pretty well!) and a special birthday girl "wine" glass.

It was such a fun night. I love you Mr. Here's to my thirties! It's going to be a pretty crazy year. Less than 3 months til D day!
