So I really did it. I turned the big 30! To celebrate we had a party in the park and the weather held out for us even though there was a tornado in another part of Kansas City. I'd have to say my greatest two accomplishments in my 20's are my honey Graham and my little buddy as featured below.

So most of the party was a surprise. Thanks to Rob and Megan. We had a Hawaiian luau with roasted hot dogs (instead of the roasted pig). There was fruit punch and plenty of sides. The decorations were complete with a blow up parrot and monkey, lists of the various things I've done in my 20's, and blown up pictures of me that Rob released (w/o my permission)!

oh yeah, and the party came with the active volcano cake, compliments of chef Megan.

Everyone had a great time and many of us were partied out by the end of the day. Drew was ready for his nap when we got home. Thanks to everyone who came and helped me celebrate this milestone.
