Yup. I’m 30, I’ve got the cake to prove it:

In case you can’t read it, it says Happy Dirty 30 O.G. Steph. According to my classmates, I had to “represent” my age. Gotta love it!

So, I had kind of had a weekend long of celebrations. Friday night some AWESOME friends from my ward threw me a surprise party. I loved it! We started off the night with the best, TACO BELL!! When they found out it was my bday, they paid for my dinner. I’m sure it’s the fact that we brought 15 other people to eat there as well. Then we headed out to a childhood pastime of mine, roller skating! let’s just say I had to take a break after almost every song! After that, we headed to sing our hearts out at karaoke. I have to say my favorite was my friend that sang Hammertime with me. We totally should go on tour. We ate delicious chocolate pie!! I loved all the girls that came and thought of me. I love you guys!

It was busy on my actual birthday Saturday too. I had 3 clients at school, the we had a potluck/cake party in our breakroom!!! James came up and surprised me with flowers, he’s so sweet! After school we left to my bro’s house we were to meet up w/ Tony & Greta and my parents – off to dinner so I thought. We drove downtown and I thought, “Oh we’re having a fancy dinner!” or…going to see a movie. I’ll be honest at first I said to myself “We drove all the way downtown to see a movie?” When all of the sudden I look up and see this little marquis that said “Stephanie B-day”…and as I walked in I heard “SURPRISE!” James had rented out this nice little theatre!!! All for us, friends from Cleveland came down (which was my biggest surprise), and friends from Columbus. I felt so loved and was so thankful for awesome friends, wonderful family and an amazing husband. We watched Harry Potter in our own theatre, along with my 3rd birthday cake!

I had an amazing Birthday and am thankful everyone in my life. Here’s to another 30 years!
