Jared turns 30!

Happy Birthday to Jared on April 7th! He hit a big 30 years old this time around, and we tried to have a little fun for him! On his birthday, Zack and I went and visited him at work in Park City and went to lunch and then walked around the outlets for a little while. When we got home from that, I had decorated the house with some balloons and crepe paper and made him some key lime cupcakes (so delish!!). I think he had a pretty good day...
Then on Friday the 9th, I had planned a surprise party for him! Needless to say, that was an adventure. I can't even recall how many things I came up with to try and distract him, or make him think we were doing something else, etc... but wow, did it feel good to finally have the truth out!!!
About 5 minutes before we were leaving for the clubhouse, some of our neighbors came to our house (thinking the party was there) and luckily they were quick on their feet and he didn't suspect anything even then. So anyway, I told Jared that our next door neighbors were going to babysit Zack while we went to a movie, but that they were filling out some papers at the clubhouse (in order to sell their house), so we needed to drop Zack off there. Easily, he went along with it.
Jared was genuinely surprised! We had an awesome turn out, with lots of family and friends. I was so greatful for everyone being there and for their help to make it so happy for Jared!
