He Got Me!

Well, for the past decade, I have been casually inviting people to my 30th surprise party. It started out as a joke but as I got closer and closer to 30, it spiralled out of control! Although I told Matt that I was really joking all these years and that I would be perfectly content with a quiet date with him, he pulled through and planned the best surprise party ever!

I was supposed to work at the church nursery that night but he called and told them about it. They later called me and told me that they didn't need me because they weren't going to have many kids. Being very easy to fool, I was happy to have a night out with my hubby.

We were supposed to be going to dinner and a movie. We went to Tuscany which is a new Italian restaurant nearby. After a great dinner, he suggested that we go upstairs to checkout the attached bar called Sky Bar. We always see it when we are out and about and say to each other, "That place looks really cool". Apparently, Matt and Sam went and checked it out a while ago and decided that it was a great place for my party. I was a little annoyed when Matt suggested that we check it out because I didn't think we had much time to make our movie but I agreed to go because I had been wondering what it was like. As I got to the top of the stairs, I saw a banner and lights and for a split second thought to myself, "Ugh Matt, see, we aren't supposed to be up here...it's someone's party!" (There had already been a surprise party in one of the private rooms while we were eating dinner. I was secretly jealous) Then, I realized that my mom and friends were there and that my name was on the banner. Although I am never one to shy away from attention, I was actually kinda embarrassed but thrilled :). I loved every minute of it!!! Matt did such a great job planning it. It really made my 30th Birthday special. Here are a few of the pics below...
