The Week of Birthday Surprises

This Wednesday I turned 30. There were so many surprises; I don't know how Matt kept them all from me! On my birthday, Matt stayed home from work and we had a great family day. My mom and sister sent me flowers and the phone never stopped ringing with birthday wishes! My neighbor, Kathy, made me a beautiful and delicious cake. On Thursday night, I had a massage at the house. And on Friday, the biggest surprise of all- my dear friend Cigdem and her husband Volkan rang my doorbell. I had no idea they were coming-- Matt picked them up from the airport and I could not believe my eyes. We got to spend the whole weekend together-- catching up, going out to dinner, and going to tea (no, the boys did not come!). It was wonderful to spend time with wonderful friends. I would turn 30 every year if it meant all of this! Thank you for making me feel so special!
