Best Birthday Ever!!

Friday night my friends thru me and April J. a Surprise 30th birthday party. I haven't really celebrated my birthday with friends since I was 11 I think. My birthday is during the summer and everyone was always on vacation. So when I turned "30" I wasn't really wanting to celebrate that either. I wanted to do something fun with my friends. This will now be the "MOST MEMORABLE" birthday. I went to the park with our group like most Friday's. Before we left Hayley came up to me and asked what I was doing tonight? I told her nothing and she asked if I wanted to go out because she needed a girls night. I immediately said "yes, I need one too." She said how bout I pick you up at 6:15. I said that should be fine I'd make sure Chris would be home and if not I'd call and let her know. Then Hayley called me a little later and said 'How bout we go to dinner. I said great where? She said April told her about a restaurant in Clayton. So Hayley picked me up and we drove the long way to Clayton and she says she told April Preston she would drop a movie off do you mind? I told her no. As we pull up I see April Jacobs car and I mentioned it to Hayley. Hayley said Jeremy was there to help move a couch. I was feeling kind of bad that Hayley and I were going out to dinner and no one else was. I was just going to wait in the car at April Prestons house because I didn't want to hurt her feelings that we were going out. But when we pulled up I saw April and the kids with Jeremy. I thought maybe they came along because April J. hadn't seen April P.'s new house yet. So Hayley asked if I wanted to come up with her and I said "I will now." If I hadn't seen April and the kids I probably would have insisted on waiting in the car. We ring the bell, they open the door and yell "SURPRISE!" I said "Surprise?" Then I see the Happy Birthday banner and it made sense. So we ate dinner and after we ate they all took turns giving April and I a toast. They all brought us 30 items of something. We got candy, scrapbook paper, eyelets, and more. We even played some games. Brittany brought a Darth Vader stand up cardboard and they decorated it to look like Tim McGraw. Cowboy hat on top and everything. We played pin the lips on Tim McGraw. That was loads of fun. Then we hit a pinata. That was lots of fun too. While April J. was taking her turn the sprinklers came on. Luckily she has fast reflexes and was able to get off the grass without getting wet. My favorite was probably the 8x10 photo of us on the front cover of TIME magazine. Then everyone signed the matting for a great keepsake. That was a great idea. Thank you everyone for a GREAT birthday. You are the best and it will never be forgotten!
