The big 29

My birthday was a few days ago, and it was so awesome! We made it a whole weekend event!
Thursday night just Travis and I went to Joe's Crab shack. We had so much fun and talked a lot about how much we appreciated eachother and how much fun we are going to have with our 3 kids. Travis is such a blessing in my life, and is such a wonderful father.
Here is us before going out


Little did I know, there was a huge surprise in store for me! I suspected something was up because my mom and travis were whispering to eachother every chance they could, and they kept making me think we were just gonna hang out with family on my birthday like it was no big deal. I was getting ready to go out with the family when the doorbell rang and Travis yelled at me to get it! I was on the phone with one of my very best friends who lives in texas-Laura Staples-and was very annoyed that I had to get off the phone to answer the door, and IT WAS LAURA STANDING THERE!!!! I was sooo excited! She ended up spending the weekend with us and I was so thankful we got to see eachother. Thankyou Laura for making my birthday so special! Here are some pics of each night she was here.
