The big 30!

Jon turned 30 on October 5th. I wanted to throw a big party for him, but when we found out we weren't going to be moving to Utah, I figured we wouldn't know too many people in Mankato to have a big party. We have made friends much quicker than we thought we would, but I didn't know what to plan. My parents came to visit us for a week, and they were here for Jon's birthday. We had a very relaxing day. The best part of the day was getting dinner for free. We went to TGI Fridays, and Jon's meal was brought out about 10 minutes after our meals, so all of us got dinner free. It was great! We had our friends the Jeffrey's come over later that evening for cake and ice cream and to play games. I also surprised Jon by taking him balloons and a bucket of his favorite popcorn (Karmel Korn's cheese corn) to his 8:00 class. I meant to get there before class started, but I didn't quite make it, so I interrupted his class. He was surprised and I was embarassed. I never do things like that, and I wanted to do something for him, so he'd have something to remember about his 30th birthday. He told me it was a really good birthday.
