Dustin went above and beyond the call of duty to deliver this magical birthday party that was themed around the move, "Grease." Everyone dressed up and enjoyed some hula hoop competition. We devoured catered burgers, fries, mozzerella sticks, and shakes. We enjoyed the DJ and karaoke, and I was delighted at being spoiled by my honey, my family, and my friends.
My baby sister, Crystal, and me singing some Spice Girls (Wannabe)!
The party helpers. The AWESOME Hillyards (Kyle & Ashley) were pretty much Dustin's right hand man and woman. Thanks :)

The CAKE!Dear Lynette,
It seems like yesterday that we were begging for a roller racer during Christmas in the 80s and then waiting for our first kiss during the summer of '95. And remember when we couldn't wait to be 16. It seemed like the time would never come to drive a car, officially date, and eventually graduate high school. Now here we are staring thirty in the face. Never in our wildest dreams would we have imagined up this life--this life that is bliss.
In fact, we had this dream of becoming a corporate lawyer and living anywhere but Utah. It sounds a little bland now. Instead we count our blessings that our true love is our husband of ten years and that our resume boasts over five years experience in motherhood! Yup, this dream we are living is much better.
So many people want to know if we wish we were younger. Friends and family ask if we're sad that the big birthday has brought on age. Of course, we smile because we know we wouldn't trade this time in our life for the awkward teenage years of high school or the struggling days of college.
But we have learned that the older we get the faster time slips away from us, so we are begging the person we become at the age of 40 and 50 and 60 to remember that this very instant is the best time of our life!
All my love,
Me
