My Husband’s Big 3-0

I know I have been out for so long. Well, there are a few good reasons. First I had a surprise party in L.A. for my husband’s big 3-0, then we flow out from L.A. to D.C. for another week and half. Once we came back from D.C., we had all these stuff to catch up from those last two weeks. Yeah, life has been a little too busy for me.

Anyway, I want to tell you guys about my husband’s surprise party first. I had been planning it for over 2 months, and man, was it hard to hold a secret from spouse. I was so worried that I would tell him everything while I was sleeping, and then there were so many times I got excited and almost let it slip out of my mouth.  When the day finally came, I was so worried that I wouldn’t be able to pull it off, and totally stressed out.

Here are some photos I took on the way to L.A. Don’t you just love sunsets?

His party was the day after. I made those banners in advance, and I had to hide them in my friend’s house, so Steve doesn’t get suspicious.

I got this lawn sign from Vista Print for free.

Party was right on Manhattan Beach where my husband grew up.

As my husband walked down the stairs and saw me, he first thought I was already making friends with people who were having party there; then he saw his friend there, he thought oh, Emily ran into my friend’s party; finally he realized it was a surprise party for him, when he saw his grandma was mingling with his high school buddies. So he totally got rocked. The whole night he couldn’t stop smiling and laughing, and at the end of the party, he said to me, “Emily! You are so dead!!” I guess that means he had a good time, right?  I didn’t take a lot of photos, because I just wanted to enjoy all our favorite people’s company and have fun. I do wish I had a photographer there to capture the night.

We had yummy Hawaiian barbeque for dinner on the beach.     Steve's Big 30-4778 Steve's Big 30-2

Steve had to leave early the next day to D.C., so his uncle drove us around and took us to a cute restaurant at this gorgeous resort by the sea for lunch. It was way fun. I could stay in L.A. forever, but I had to go and catch the flight to D.C. I have more photos to show you guys from our D.C. trip. Don’t forget to come back and check! Talk to you guys later.
