3rd (ieth) Birthday Bash!

It all started at 11:30 at night last Wednesday (Oct. 20th to be exact), with someone banging on my door and ringing the doorbell. Considering that Dana had just tried to call me and I so graciously ignored her call (I was asleep after all), I figured it was her and Mike messing around and wanting to wish me happy birthday. I tried so hard to ignore them. But when the noise continued I begrudgingly got out of bed and opened the door, giving her my best death glare. She had a surprise for me! My dad came around the corner with roses and balloons! :D The last time he was up here was when I moved here 8 years ago. I was able to spend four days with him....just he and I. LOVED IT! I took him around MT to show him some of my favorite spots....Ryan Dam and Fort Benton. Then, on Saturday, Laura Beth was hosting (and creating) my 3rd (ieth) birthday party....with party hats, noise makers, and even a pinata! I love partying like I'm a kid again. It was so much fun...thank you again LB for all of it...and Courtney for some of the ideas! I felt so blessed to have people there to share it with me...and to have my dad there to meet everyone. And now, a week later, I'm still trying to recuperate from all of the fun!
