Surprise, Surprise!






Michael sure does know how to help take the edge off of me turning thirty! My birthday was Thursday (29th) and I knew he was up to something. The morning started off with three dozen roses and two of the sweetest birthday cards, one of which was so beautifully decorated with scribbles from crayons! Next, we loaded up Aubrey Kate and met my dad to drop her off for a few days at Papaw and Mamaw's house. Then, to Natchez we went! This was my first surprise trip, ever, so it was really exciting. Plus, I've never been to Natchez and it was one more place I could mark off my list. We stayed at the Monmouth Plantation, which was super nice. Michael and I had a great time exploring the city and sitting down by the Lazy Mississippi watching the boats pass by. On our way back home, we took a detour and visited the Ruins of Windsor. It is the remains of a gigantic antebellum home which survived the Civil War, only to later be destroyed by a house fire.

All in all, turning thirty wasn't so bad, we'll just see how the rest of the year turns out! A big "THANK YOU" to my sweetie for the best birthday ever!
