The Big 3-0

That's right... someone had a birthday!

October 3rd... Jeff turned 30

We had a great time celebrating...

From dinner, to watching movies, to sitting by the pool, to opening presents,to going to the keys, to being surprised with friends by a cake with candles to just being together.

I decorated the table with all of his favorite things...

reeses, diet coke, chips, oranges, presents, pictures of Izzy and me...

Then we were headed off to the Florida Keys! Izzy was having kind of a rough time on the way down... but not a better drive to stop ever hour. Jeff would just jump in the ocean and take a little swim :)

Here is the hotel we stayed at in Key West. We swam at the pool, enjoyed a little dinner at the hotel and then did his favorite thing- watch football

In case any of you have a bad day... or just need a smile- hopefully this picture will do the trick!

The next day we headed to the beach. Izzy's first day at the beach... and not a more beautiful day!

Key West

and then the next weekend my friend Amanda and I threw a little SURPRISE PARTY for the hubbies (her husband's bday was the day after Jeff's). It was so fun to have friends by the pool for some cake and a little Happy Birthday singing.

30 is great birthday! Jeff, I have loved every minute I have known you...from the moment we met on our first trip to Palm Springs and you made me think to myself “wow, that would be amazing to be married to Jeff Wood”, to driving the snow cat on our first date, to saying “yes I will marry you” in the love cave in Maui, to holding your hand tight in the temple as we saw eternity together, to renting our first house in the Avenues, to spending sleepless nights remodeling our dream house on Gregson Avenue, to getting the phone call saying “guess what… I got accepted” and packing our bags to New York, to driving across country to our next adventure in Washington D.C., to being incredibly excited sitting in the car finding out we had a blessing coming July 10^th, 2010, to crying together when we found out you got a job in the worst job market ever… in Miami! To loving waking up Saturday mornings and heading to the beach… to kissing my forehead and holding my hand as we welcomed our little girl into our arms. To then seeing your face as you held your precious daughter for the first time. These are the times I cherish the most… the times I’ve been with you my love.

Happy Birthday... can't wait to see what the next 30 years bring
