One of my dearest friends celebrated her 30th birthday with a hell of a surprise party thrown by her most awesomesauce husband. This guy, I tell ya, he worked his ass off for MONTHS to make sure everything was perfect, the week of the event I thought he was going to burst with excitement and/or panic all at the same time. Fibbing to one of your closest friends is hard, fibbing to your spouse for 6 months IMPOSSIBLE. He did it, with a helluva of a lot of help from the hosts and the sisters, and a little extra help from family and friends he executed a great party for his wonderful wife.
Friends and family came from far and wide to celebrate this special gals birthday, and really, there is not a more deserving person of a party like this. Sam is one of those rare gems that only come around once a lifetime and we all are so lucky to have her in our lives. Shes an amazing wife (apparently, right? lol!), a kick ass friend, a loving dog momma, an abso-fucking-lutely devoted sister, but with sisters like these who wouldnt be? Im totes jelly of this quartet of kick ass sisterhood, and I want in lol! She's a movie-quoting, dirt-loving, laugh-out-loud, balls to the wall, hell of a good time gal and we all love her dearly!
A few of Sammages favorite quotes from a classic for our age:
“Brennan, that is the voice of an angel. Brennan I can’t even make eye contact with you right now. Your voice is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus.” — Dale
"If you were a chick, who's the one guy you'd sleep with?" Brennan
"John Stamos" Dale
"Did we just become best friends?": Brennan
"Yup!" Dale
"Do you want to go karate in the garage" Brennan
"Yup!" Dale
I wrote this in her card, and though it was so suiting for her that I would share:
There are some people in life that make you laugh a little louder, smile a little bigger, and live just a little bit better.
That's our Sammy in 24 short words.
Well, by now all my family, framily, and friends know one thing about me, im a flipping certifiable stalker, and not the crazy kind... well... maybe a little:) You'll see what I mean in a bit... I only walked around with my big boy camera for about an hour but the sheer joy, love, and happiness I caught in that hour makes me kick myself for not carrying it all night (note to self!).
The host impatiently waiting the birthday girls arrival.
The party-goers all waiting patiently for the big surprise.
This moment was so dang sweet, these two hadn't seen each other in 5 years and, gurrrl (or boyyy), let me tell you there were sweet tears of their reunion.
See what I mean about stalking? LOL! I totally followed Sam around like a mini-papparazi stalker snapping off photos of her moments.
Her dads face kills me, he was so excited for her party.
The host, he treats her like one of his daughters:) I would know, he my pops:)
These two, like two little kids on the block:)
Aw, the-thank-you-for-my-awesome-party-husband-I-love-you hug.
OH, GOOD GOD the food... holy fat cat, it was scrumptious. Only these people eat like this, with 50 attendees.
Serious Bronco talk... for reals. Pretty sure Sam is saying "Shut your face" right here lol!
Yes, THIS. This is great!
More Bronco talk...
It takes a special kind of friendship to pull of mugs like this, in synch. GLORIOUS!
Its a rarity I am ever in a photo, Im thankful that my sister-in-law took these for us:) Thank you Karlee!!
Happy happy birthday Sammy. We LOVE YOU!!
Lastly, a little birthday poem for our girl:
People came from near and far,
Lastly, a little birthday poem for our girl:
People came from near and far,
You are tan like Jafar,
Big smiles and good times,
Man, i hope this skit rhymes,
Your thirties will be off the chain,
If not, you aint gotta explain,
We all getting old as shit,
But that won't stop us from doing it,
Kick ass food,
Everyone in a good mood,
We partied all night,
The band was flipping tight,**
Saw Sam do a sweet dance move,
That girl sure like to groove,
Doing shots at the bar,
Like a flipping super star,
Then liquor started to clash,
And you ended up puking in the trash,
Your night was over, but ours had just begun,
Way too much silly drunken adult fun,
There was even some awesome swan dives,
We all had the times of our lives,
Your 30th party was a super fun ball,
Thank you for sharing it with us all!
** disclaimer on my usage of the word tight, im in my 30's people, this was cool in the 90s, get over it lol!!
