SURPRISE!

Jacob had a lot to celebrate this weekend, so I decided he should celebrate in style. Of course I threw him a surprise party. How many people do you know finish their master's degree one week and then turn the big 3-0 the next week (today!)? I invited about 20 people over, ordered some yummy Qdoba catering, and we partied the night away, well at least for a few hours (my husband is old now, we go to bed early!). Sorry about the quality of the pictures to follow, I was a little busy trying to make sure everything was going smoothly and didn't do a fantastic camera job.

The Mexican buffet (what else do you order for a Spanish teacher?)

The Birthday/Graduation Boy

The Two Jake's (Jacob's Grandpa is the original Jacob)

I think everyone a great time. Jacob was genuinely surprised, it was hard keeping all of the planning a secret and getting him out of the house so we could get everything set up. He really deserved something special. Thanks to my sister, parents, and in-laws for helping out! He worked really hard through all of his master's classes (had a 4.0 GPA-I have to brag), and celebrated a very special birthday. I am so proud of him!
