Shelby Surprise!

As if I needed any more 30th birthday celebrations.. SURPRISE!!  My wonderful family threw me a surprise party today complete with a UNC Chapel Hill birthday cake and cake pops, Sub Station pita bread subs (YUM!), Diet Cherry Lemon Sun Drop, and good ole NC BBQ (aka pulled pork for you yanks reading this).  Thank you everyone so much for coming.  I felt so loved and special. 

We may have only been in Shelby two days so far but I've seen so many people that I've really missed since moving across the pond.  Since our last visit, there have been so many babies born, kids starting school, house additions, new jobs, new romances.. despite the differences, there is so much the same and boy is it a comfort coming home...

Some of my sweet high school girlfriends.  We calculated that we have been out of high school for 12 years now.  Great having friendships stand the test of time.
