Wow…what a great weekend! I’m writing this a little late, but oh well.

Sean and Paul’s 30th Birthday was on Friday, Dec 2. I started planning with Sean and his parents in January 2005 for a huge party for their 30th. In case you missed it…

Friday night, I took Paul out for what he thought was going to be a romantic dinner for two at the Waterfront Restaurant in Covington, KY. Meanwhile… Sean was flying in from Seattle, and Stephen (their best friend from St. Louis) drove from St. Louis to pick Sean up from the airport. Paul’s mom, dad, sister and grandmother drove from St. Louis as well. Everyone met at my mom’s house, then headed over to the Waterfront around 7:00pm. Paul and I were at a table for 2, and I kept having to make silly excuses for why I kept looking towards the door. A table for 12 was set up right behind ours, but Paul never took notice. While we were ordering, everyone slipped into their places at the table behind us, and then Paul’s mom came over and kissed him on the cheek. The look on his face was one I’ll never forget. He later told me “I saw my mom, then your mom, and I knew in that instant that I’d been had.” YAY! We enjoyed a wonderful dinner together. After dinner Sean, Paul, Stephen, Megan and I went out to the Pub in Crestview Hills. (See pictures here )

Then came Saturday…
Paul, Sean, Megan and Stephen went out shopping with their mom while my mom and I busily prepared the house for the party! My friend Mary drove in from Illinois to help (thank you Mary!). Everyone arrived and we hid in the living room to await their arrival. Sean and Paul came in and Paul was definitly blown away. (See pictures here)

Paul was SO clueless about both nights. I think it took him until Monday morning to finally wrap his mind around what had happened during the weekend. I’m so glad that everyone made it safely and that everything went off without a hitch! Thanks to everyone who came, hope you had a great time!
