the big three-oh

So, today is the husband's 30th birthday. The festivities, however, have been in full swing since Friday.

Friday night was a combined surprise party with 20 of our friends. He was clueless, delightfully surprised, and we had a great time.

The greatest part was when, Thursday night, he confessed that he'd been feeling hurt that I hadn't planned anything for his birthday. I choked back a laugh, feigned remorse for my thoughtlessness, and cooked up a couple lies to tide him over. Worked like a charm. Too bad crow wasn't an item on the party menu.

Saturday he opened his gifts early, then sat in the basement watching the special features on his new Transformers: The Movie, 20th Anniversary edition DVD.

Last night, the in-laws came down to take us out to dinner. The restaurant choice was a no-brainer--Quaker Steak and Lube, best wings in town. Craig has been looking forward to the 30-wing challenge ever since his 29th birthday, and today he is at home recovering from the assault to his digestive system.

Tonight we wrap it all up with a cake from the Golden Delight bakery and a fun-filled Bible study with the gang, talking about God's love.

Happy birthday, baby :)
