Kelly's 30th Birthday

I had a super fun 30th birthday celebration the Saturday before my birthday.  Matthew and my two dear friends threw a lil party at a local coffee, tea and wine bar.  We had live music, wine tasting, a "how well do you know Kelly" game, decor, great company and pictures from throughout my life.  Matthew contacted friends from all different seasons of my life to collect pictures and even three or four well wishes from friends.  It was a wonderful evening reminiscing as well as getting to know some of my new friends here in Nebraska better.  It was one of the best evenings out we have had in a long time.  It is rare for this many people with young kids to find sitters all at the same time; that in and of itself was exciting enough!

To close out the evening.....my friend  who will remain nameless, had the jazz singer doing the live music wish me happy birthday.  Embarrassed does not even describe it, however everyone present got a VERY good laugh, as did I, so it was worth it!

Thank you Matthew, Kelley and Jennifer for making this a memorable evening.  The care, detail, thought and love that went into the evening was overwhelming.  Yall know how to make a girl feel special----and how to party :)

At home the next day, Matthew had a few tricks up his sleeve.  The kids came running in with gift bags and inside were several new clothing itmes Matthew picked out for me.  They were all perfect size and beautiful. Since having two kids, buying clothes has not been as fun--but I am pretty much back to pre-addison WEIGHT (not size, two ten lb babies will change your shape!) so it was nice to have a few clothes to celebrate that and being 30.  Matthew ALWAYS picks the best clothes for me!!!!  Here we are below celebrating the special day with the kiddos; excuse my appearance I had just finished running 3.25 miles!

I am blessed.
