Guess Who's 30?

Nope, not me. At least not yet!


Happy birthday, to my dearest, dearest love!

My husband and I live hours from most friends and family, so I sent out a secret (sssshhhh!) email a few weeks ago to some of Daryl's longtime friends and close family. Every day I checked the mailbox and hid the cards that came in from around the country. By this morning, there were exactly 30! How cool is that?

I attached each one to a balloon and surprised him after his early morning grocery run. He was totally surprised, and spent the rest of the morning wearing a great birthday glow.

The biggest part of the adventure for me was figuring out where to get balloons... I finally just bought a small helium tank (just $20!) and filled them up myself.

Filling up that many balloons without him noticing was an adventure, to say the least. It helped that I had a great assistant...


Happy birthday to my husband! 30 years young. I'm glad he crossed the 30-year mark first. He's wearing the age so well I'm less afraid of it becoming my turn...

What are your favorite kinds of birthday surprises?
