I am so loved.

Last weekend was my First Annual 29th Birthday Party.  I wanted to have friends over for my birthday this year and since my birthday falls so close to Valentine's Day, I decided this past weekend was best and I could just start the merriment early.  So I created an Evite and just started inviting people, not really sure who would be able to make it or who would really even want to come.  And then?  Well, then the RSVPs started rolling in and before I knew it, I had 30 people signed for the party.  Three of those included my best girls-- Jen, Mindy and Lisa.  All three flew in for the weekend from St. Louis and Omaha respectfully.  

I realized this weekend how much I love my friends and just how blessed I am to be so loved.  I wouldn't have wanted to spend the evening with anyone else and I think we all had a good time.  Well, at least I did. :)

So, I didn't take very many photos during the party.  I was busy being celebrated.  But here are some quick shots of the birthday revelers.  (I really just wanted proof that we fit that many people in the apartment.)

B and I take a moment to pose.  His food was of-course, the hit of the evening.  

Me, Lisa and Mindy at the airport before they head back to Omaha on Sunday.  I've spent so many birthdays with these two, it was only natural that they be here for this one too.
Jen and I snuggle up at brunch on Sunday.  If Valentine's Day was a hamburger, we'd be the bun.  Her b-day is the 13th.  Insta-friends reunited!
