Twenty-one plus nine

30 eh?

 

Seeing as I haven't had a birthday party since I turned thirteen, thirty felt like an appropriate time to get crazy.  My cousin Mike hooked it up with Luke at Bender's. He said "you bring the people, we'll bring the music". Agreed!

 

Bucket list item #7: Have my name appear on a billboard or marquis.

Check!

I stole the set list from the green room.
 

 

I still can't beleive that this was all in my honor.

I feel like such a lucky girl!

 

Symm, John Ramos & Ryan rockin' out!

 

At one point the place was jammed packed, shoulder to shoulder!

 

Chris Brunn & the lovely Naomi.

 

I think I smiled all night!

There's a lot of John in here, lol.

 

Maybe too much!

 

Everyone had a blast!

 

I had to take a photo of the prezzie from Ryan. Best card ever!

My sister RULES! She ordered this AWESOME cake.

 

I can't begin to tell you how good this cake was.

German chocolate, my fav!

 

Bumble-bee-tos of course!

 

Kick Ass!

 

I told Maura that eating this bee was a bit sac-relig for me.

I cried inside a little.

 

When everyone left I found a Star Wars bag sitting on my bed. The card said "Just a few little silly presents to remind you that 30 isn't old, just a bigger kid!" 

It was from Maura!!

Each little present had its own tag. This one was for a baby Ouija board.

 

And this one was for a Hello Kitty Chinese take-out carton full of star candies.

 

This was attached to a small tin of mints with my name on it.

I'm curiously strong!

 

The pink tag was attached to a Hello Kitty lunch pail full of pez dipensers!

 

She knows I love candy. This one came with a M&M dressed like a Jedi.

 

Last one came with a bottle of wine.

 

I love you Maura.

A big thank you to everyone who made this such a special birthday.

I'm so blessed to be surrounded by love!
