I Am Loved

Hello!
Did you guys have a great long weekend? I certainly did!

*Let's start with Friday. HU is now on summer hours so we get off at 12:30 on Friday's. Since Aiden was still in school, Logan was at daycare and daddy was sleeping from being on nights, I decided to head to Fort Wayne to spend some of the graduation money that was burning a hole in my pocket. I bought some great stuff! I had four hours of uninterrupted shopping, fun and only spent $59! I was in heaven. Friday night I finished packing for us to head to the lake on Saturday.
*Saturday I took the boys over to Carolyn's (mom-in-law) while Marcus got the camper ready and I headed out to Shipshewana with Steph and Missy. I was so excited about this trip. We headed into the little shops in town and had a great time. I bought a few items that were a little pricey for me, but I had my eyes on them for awhile. Now - you have to know that pricey for me is over $20!!! :) That evening we spent the night around a campfire with a lot of Marcus' family and headed to bed in the camper. Oh --- and the boys were so excited that they got to take a bath in the little tub that's in the camper. It's seriously the cutest tub ever.
*Sunday - Missy and Steph had asked me awhile back if they could take me to brunch that day for my birthday and then head to Fort Wayne to Archiver's (a wonderful scrapbooking store). How could I say no? So, we headed out around 11 and had some more great shopping and bonding time. We headed back to the lake around 3. Now, the weekend could have ended there and I would have thought it was perfect. But ... no. We pulled into Cathy's (where we stay at the lake). I saw everyone around the picnic table and didn't think anything of it. So then I see someone pop around from our camper ... it was my friend, Loranda. Again, didn't think too much of it because she's been there before. So, I just asked what she was doing there. Then Marcus and everyone started saying SURPRISE!!! What???? Huh???? What surprise? Yeah ... clueless me! THEN I see two more of my friends from Alexandria, Carrie and Jason. Ok, now it's starting to click. Marcus finally comes up to me and says that it's a party for my graduation and 30th birthday! HA! Everyone keeps asking me if I was surprised and all I can say is that surprised wasn't the word ... CLUELESS is more like it. I couldn't believe that Marcus pulled this off (no offense babe), but I had no idea he was so sneaky. I guess he's had it planned for months! So, there was cake, food, friends, family and a lot of laughing. I felt so loved.
*So Monday was an R&R day. We got home from the lake around 1 pm and we all took naps (LOVE THAT). We had a nice meal together and some birthday cake then watched cartoons before heading to bed early.
Yep -certainly was an action packed weekend. I'd love to tell you that I thought about taking pictures, but it never occurred to me! My friend Carrie took a few, so when I see those I will post them for you all to enjoy.
Well, the next time I post I will be ... 30. I can hardly believe that on Monday I will no longer be in my 20's. I am not going to lie, I am having a hard time with it. GULP. Did 30 bother you?
