Ryan turns the big 3-0!

Ryan turned 30 yesterday & it was full of surprises (for him, not for me because I planned it all). The morning began with his favorite breakfast of biscuits & gravy. He spent the rest of the morning in the yard while his sisters, Rachael & Allie, drove up from Utah to celebrate with him. He was surprised, in his towel (he'd just gotten out of the shower), by their presence in the kitchen. (Really I was trying to get him to hurry up, he thought that I needed help in the kitched & started to walk towards the kitchen when he noticed the truck in the front yard & heard rustling in the kitchen......we still surprised him). We then had a big BBQ with close friends & a 30 question trivia quiz all on Ryan (if you would like your own copy send me your e-mail and I'll send it to you). Allie was the winner of that game with 21 points. We were so stuffed from the BBQ we just laid around the rest of the evening-oh wait that was me, Rach & Allie. Ryan was busy setting up the monster TV that his parents had sent us and then set up the other TV in the treadmill room (we just got our replacement treadmill, I hear that it's great - I haven't had time to try it). We took our traditional late night stroll to Safeway with Ryan's sis's and got some groceries for tonight's (Sunday) dinner of Taco's al Pastor (marinated pork with chili's & pineapple). And started to watch "Dark Night" at midnight - it's amazing how much louder the Joker's antics are when you are trying to sleep through them! We've had alot of fun & we are happy to have Rach & Allie with us!
