A Birthday Surprise!

I love my family.

So last weekend, Troy and I were on our way to Coal City to check out Andy and Amanda's house and "get things ready" for my birthday bash NEXT weekend. Well, give credit to Amanda and Troy, they had the bash already planned for THAT weekend to surprise me! We drove up to the house and there were all my family and friends to meet me! I was so excited. Thank you to all who planned and helped with the surprise. I really had a blast. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.


Troy's mom made the cake. Isn't it awesome?! She made our wedding cake as well.

That's right. It was my big 3-0 birthday... but I'm still 29 until the 28th.




Just a few of the fun gifts I got. Thank you mom! I also got the cool little skeleton standing next to me with the pumpkin head from my sister-in-law, Amanda.

I'm still in shock that Troy was able to keep the whole thing a secret. Even my parents were in on it! Thank you all again. You are the best!

For those of you who haven't seen me in a while, I chopped off my hair. Nothing too drastic, but it's short for me! I really love it! And I'm sure you're asking, "Does Troy?" Yes he does! He's just happy I've stopped complaining about how boring my hair had become. The pic doesn't show it well, but I also dyed it auburn red. It really looks cool.
