30

A lil' photo story of how I spent my 30th Birthday (which was June 9)...

I decided I needed to wear a

cute and youthful outfit since I turned a year older.

I enjoyed lunch at Earl's Rib Palace and got

a free t-shirt that says "I pigged out at Earl's Rib Palace on My Birthday!"

I think it's pretty goofy and fun!

After lunch I went shopping.....

I tried on some cowgirl boots at Tener's

because that's what I wanted for my 30th.

The indecisiveness started kicking in quickly...

Why do they all have to be so darn cute?

Oh, my!

Hmmm....

Nah, my running calves are far too big for this pair...

What about these???

.... Or these?

Nah.... I couldn't decide so I walked out

without boots, but I did buy

a couple of cute shirts.

I'll have to go back another time,

but I'll be taking a friend to help me decide. = )

When I returned to my parent's house,

this beautiful floral arrangement was on the table and it was for ME!

It was from my BESTEST FRIEND up in VERMONT!

Aren't they GORGEOUS?!?!?!!!

I LOVE lilies!

Love, Love, Love!!!

My parents know I'm a weirdo that no longer eats cake and other sweets,

so they surprised me with an Edible Arrangement.

It was AMAZING!!!

I was super surprised!

LOVE my flowers from the Winker Family.

They sure know how to make a girl feel special.

I'm looking forward to celebrating my 30th

with Jordon when she arrives in OKC.

Her 30th is in August so we're having

a combined 30th Birthday Bash!

It's going to be GRAND!

The sweet note enclosed with the Edible Arrangement

Unwrapping my edible gift!

LOVE this!!!

Look at all that beautiful fruit!

YUM!

Pretty sure my favorite was the

chocolate dipped pineapple,

but it was ALL FANTASTIC!

My Dad was happy to help me out after I twisted his arm a bit... lol!

We couldn't eat all of the fruit, so Mom and Dad

took the arrangement apart so it would fit in the fridge.

Ethan enjoyed a couple bites of fruit and I even shared some of my salmon with him. I didn't want to go out to eat this year, but instead requested fresh grilled salmon with zucchini and squash. Salmon isn't something I eat very often because it doesn't exactly fit the med school budget. I was super excited about having such a delicious meal.

And no birthday is complete without......

Oh, yes!

Happy 30th Birthday to me!

Thank you to everybody who made my 30th so special!
