So last week, Ronnie had a pretty big birthday. On August 24, he turned 30!! He wasn't too concerned about his birthday...not sad, not excited. Just content. I, however, was pumped because I've been working on his present and party for a LONG time!
As soon as the clock struck midnight on the 24th, I gave him his present. Two tickets for us to see the Cowboys play IN Dallas....8 rows up on the 35 yard line behind the Cowboys' sideline. Yeah!! He was SHOCKED and super excited! We will be spending 3 nights in Dallas and mom and dad are going to have the girls. I was also going to get tickets for a stadium tour the day before the game, but unfortunately it was too early to buy tickets. It's going to be fun!!
On the 27th we had his party at our house. I wanted to make his birthday party extra special, not only because he was turning 30, but also because we never really had any type of party to celebrate him finishing residency. He's worked really hard and accomplished a lot in his first 30 years and I thought it was really worth celebrating! He knew he was having a party that day but I didn't let him know any of the details. I rented a huge, blowup, double lane slip n slide for the backyard. When he first saw it he thought it was a blow up bouncy house, and said, "Are there going to be that many kids here?" I said, "No!! It's not for the kids, it's for YOU!" I then had him take another look and explained what it was. It wasn't long before he was out there having a blast! We had food from Bootleg BBQ...pulled pork, wings, baked beans, corn on the cob and twice baked potato casserole. It was all amazing. Those wings are just unbelievable...I see those being ordered in the future for football games! The food was followed up by an awesome "30" golf cake made by our neighbor, Cheri. There were lots of friends and family who came to celebrate with us, many traveled a long way to get here. Thanks so much to everyone who was with us to celebrate Ronnie's big birthday! Here are some pictures:
