Hey y'all! So yesterday was my sweet husband's 30th birthday. I feel like turning 30 is a big deal, so I wanted to celebrate accordingly. Tyler had a four day birthday bash LOL
It all started on Friday evening after work. Tyler thought we were going to dinner with his mom and Kip to a restaurant downtown called Jefferson Davis Inn. I had spent many nights preparing for this dinner. I booked the restaurant, picked the menu, invited the guests, and had a big birthday banner made. Needless to say, he was very surprised when he walked into the restaurant and saw his family and friends at the table! We loved getting to spend the evening with some of our friends that we don't get to see as often as we would like. Everyone that came traveled from out of town, so we appreciated that so much. It was a wonderful evening with great food and even better company! After eating dinner and having some birthday cake, Ty opened up his gifts and cards. He knew that we were taking a birthday trip on Saturday, but he didn't know where. In his card, I wrote him a letter wishing him a happy birthday and laying out the itinerary for the next day.. (I mean would you expect anything else from me?! LOL) After we got home from the birthday dinner, it was time to pack! We headed out bright and early the next morning for The Greenbrier!
It was Chippy's birthday too! We were so happy to see him and Melissa!
My Pooter and her sweet boyfriend Tyler.. He traveled a long way for this party!
So glad Matt and Jill came!
Sistas!
Kelly got Tyler a card that listed alllll the things that can happen over a thirty year span LOL We laughed so hard at this.. and by we, I mean Kelly and me.. Tyler didn't think it was very funny haha!
Tyler has always talked about going to The Greenbrier to do the tour of the bunker there. It is a very interesting piece of history! We both really love to learn about historical things, and y'all know I'm a sucker for a good tour! Ty has never stayed at The Greenbrier, so I thought his birthday was the perfect opportunity to go. We had so much fun! When we first arrived, we went to the scheduled bunker tour. After the tour, we had lunch at Draper's. I had a BLT with sweet tea, and Ty got the club sandwich. We didn't want to get too full because we had dinner reservations for Prime 44 West that evening. After lunch, we went through all of the shops. I always love looking at the dishes there. I think the pink rhododendron is so beautiful! Ty also wanted to check out the casino, so we spent a little time there. We walked around the entire resort just taking it all in. Every room is so different from the next yet they all coincide. I love the pattern mixing and bright colors! Later that evening, we headed to dinner. Ty was so excited to get a big steak! The restaurant sent out a piece of birthday cake that was absolutely delicious! The hotel also left a note and a box of chocolates in the room wishing him a happy birthday. That was a nice little surprise! We spent the rest of our night just relaxing together. We are always so busy it seems like. It was nice to just spend time together and enjoy each other's company.

On Sunday, Tyler had one last birthday party to attend. My mom hosted a joint birthday party for Tyler and my cousin Erick. Erick will be 13 years old on the 9th. It is hard for me to believe he will be a teenager! The whole family came up to visit, and we had so. much. food. My maw maw made her famous dumplings, and my grandmother whipped up some of her amazing punch. Ty got several gifts and cards from everyone. My grandmother had him a corn hole board set custom made. Y'all, they are awesome. They are UK themed boards, and even the bags have UK material on them. The holes on the boards are trimmed in UK blue lights, so you can play in the dark! She also got his name put on one of the boards.. and y'all know you just can't go wrong with a little personalization! I love them! Mom said it will be okay to bring them to some Marshall tailgates since they aren't WVU! LOL We can use them at cook outs, get togethers, and ballgames. I thought my gran did a great job picking that gift out, and Tyler certainly loves them!
As you may or may not be able to tell, baby Bo has brought so much joy to our family!
On Monday, we met my cousin and good friend Peggy in Charleston. We had lunch at a Mexican restaurant to celebrate Tyler's actual birthday (as if the last three days weren't enough LOL). She had the waiters bring out the sombrero and sing to him. His face was so red the entire time!
They put a dollop of ice cream on his nose LOL
We both had such a great weekend celebrating Tyler's birthday with our family and friends. I always love spending time with those that mean the most. Of course, I also enjoyed celebrating my amazing husband. He is such a wonderful man. I know all girls think their husbands are the best. My Tyler is so caring, thoughtful, and considerate of me all the time. I am so glad I was able to spoil him for a change. He is a hard worker and takes such good care of me. I am so thankful that God blessed me with such a wonderful man! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER! THIRTY NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD!
Until next time.. Take care y'all!
