Meg's surprise 30th birthday party!

Angie, Meg, Melanie, Suzanne at dinner.

Meg got heart attacked by Jon and his cousins...

I asked Meg what her favorite ice cream was and she said, "I don't like ice cream."
So, of course, she got an ice cream cake!

"Holy crap! This is Blue Bell Ice Cream? Why didn't you say so? I love Ice Cream!"

You can only get it at Outback Steakhouse around here...
I can't imagine it was good. I drove it home from Outback for 45 minutes in rush hour traffic in 97 degree heat! Then, I refroze it. Yum!




THIRTY THINGS THAT I LOVE ABOUT MEG!

1) Her unbelievable good looks!
2) Her wonderful singing voice, especially this one song on Rock Band where she sounds so hot!
3) That she either still thinks I am funny, or at least, she makes me think that she still thinks I am funny.
4) Her great hair (in all it's wonderful colors).
5) Her breath-taking blue eyes.
6) Her love for Jon.
7) Her love for everyone, specifically the people that are the hardest to love.
8) That she hates LOST, but won't miss an episode, just to watch it with me.
9) I love that she makes me buy stuff for myself, and keeps me from living in the 90's still.
10) Her ability to forgive.
11) Her love for nature, trees, clouds, sunsets (I guess one of us should appreciate that crap).
12) I love that she gets me (even if she is the only one).
13) Her great big family that comes with her. They are all great. Well, except for Kendall (what a weirdo)
14) All 187 pairs of her shoes.
15) All 96 of her bags.
16 ) I love that she knows who she is and who she wants to be.
17) I love her as a mother.
18) I love that she doesn't care if I watch SportsCenter EVERY DAY!
19) She is a GREAT cook (well, I'm sure she knows a great cook)!
20) I love that she doesn't call me Jacob; I think he is dumb and immature (she calls me the other one).
21) That she let's me build stuff, even though she knows that I will never complete it (ask her about the RC race track; someday, it will be my greatest accomplishment).
22) How great she looks in a pair of jeans... just a pair of jeans.
23)Her love for animals. She won't even let me kill a spider that has been hunting her for 3 weeks (I smushed it last week, don't tell her).
24) That she is a nomad, just like me...
25) Her devotion to her church responsibilities.
26) That she likes to be a girly girl sometimes (what does that even mean, really).
27) Her outstanding smile! She is always cheerful and upbeat and keeps things positive!
28) She loves being surprised! Or, she knows that I like surprising her and she actually hates being surprised, but not as much as she knows that I love surprising her so she let's me do it time and time again. Oh crap, what if she hates surprises and she is just letting me think that she loves them. Great, now I don't know what to do..... Meg, tell me the truth!
29) I love that she is a "fun" mom!

30) I love that she chose me!


Happy Birthday Meg!
May the next 30 years be as kind to you as the first. In other words, don't get old, gray, and hairy in places you shouldn't have hair. That would be just, well... OLD.

I love you!
