Wow, last time I checked we were two wide eyed "kids" just graduating High School looking wishfully into the great blue yonder that was to be our far off distant future together
Well, fast forward 11 years and pheeeew!!! Where did the time go? A wonderful wedding, a dog (our first born), two beautiful kids, a little piece of land, wonderful jobs, loving friends, and poof, we're here, our far off distant future is the present.! It's just mind blowing and wonderful to see how far we've grown and how far we have to go!!! So many things to look forward to and so many blessings to be grateful for. Still, I just never thought we would turn 30!!! It just sounds so grown up yet, I feel the exact same.
Well, luckily for me, I don't have to reach this milestone for another year and a half!!! For Ryan however, it came and went. I was intending to do a surprise birthday for him and that quickly got quenched when I realized with friends and baby schedule's, this would be much too difficult. So when I asked the birthday boy what he would like to do, he expressed that he would love to just have a birthday party. Whens the last time I had a birthday party was actually what he said. So, done and done, a birthday party it was. After figuring out the details and our friends the Coli's graciously allowing us to terrorize their house, it was on. 21 of our friends and a bunch of kiddos, taco's, and last but certainly not least, yummy, yummy margarita's! We had a wonderful time laughing, talking, eating and drinking! The Coli's did a marvelous job at sprucing up their newly purchased home's back yard for the party and the setting couldn't have been better, 75 degree's, sunny, warm and gorgeous!!! Here are some photo's for you to enjoy the day with us;
Oh, by the way, the birthday boy conveniently noticed just days before the event that our BBQ was on it's last leg's and sadly, finally quit working!!! Lucky for him, he got a brand new one the day before the party, just in time to pre-cook all the food!! Here he is dirtying it for the first time the day before;
Looks y'all had a wonderful time! Happy Birthday Ryan! :)
