30 Years Young!

June 14th marked a special day for me. I turned 30. I'm not sure if I'm just totally oblivious or if I really just don't care that the 20's are behind me. I reflected on all the great things that happened in my 20's and thanked God for all of the blessings. I can only hope that my 30's will be just as wonderful and that God will continue to bless me and my family and friends.

We had a birthday party and boy was it a blast! I have two words for you. Sumo Suits. Yes, you read correctly. Now that I know I've peaked your interest and YOU'RE dying to learn more. Read on, and enjoy the pictures below.

We started the party around 4ish. My family came down from Walker (mom, dad, brother, sister, nieces, nephews, aunt and uncle). In addition, many of our friends joined us as well. We had great food, great yard games and GREAT fun! Around 8pm, a huge rain/wind storms rolled through, but it only lasted about 15 minutes. When it was over, we were left with this beautiful rainbow...which I personally believe was a birthday gift from God.

We were able to have a campfire for a little while before the 2nd round of rain came through. We used the reprieve from the rain to break out the Sumo Suits (we rented) and have some friendly wrestling matches. Let me tell you, I have not laughed that hard in so long. It was absolutely hilarious. I would recommend that everyone Sumo wrestle at least once in their lifetime. For that moment, you feel as though you are invincible (and you should feel that way with the 6+ inches of padding surrounding you!) and are a child all over again. I think 30 is the new 15:)

Thanks to all that came and welcomed me (or pushed me) into the "Thrilling 30's!" I'm ready for the ride, as long as I have my family and friends to ride with me. Thanks for the great gifts and warm wishes. I love you all!
