A Big Thanks to Chris and a Big 30th!


I know that I am long overdue for postings. June has been a very busy and exciting month for us. However, last night was one of the best birthday celebrations i've ever had and I wanted to share it with everyone!

A very special big thanks goes out to Chris. He put together a surprise 30th B-day party for me that went above and beyond! He put so much planning, time and effort into the event and simply put... It was FABULOUS!

Apparently Chris has been planning this for weeks now and everyone (except for me) knew about the celebration. Chris got all of my friends and co-workers involved and the turnout was fantastic! Chris hired a 76 foot schooner to go out onto Sydney Harbour where 35 of our friends joined us ready to celebrate.

People brought music, cake, wine, champagne, martini's (equipped with plastic martini glasses, olives and shakers) and the boat was even decorated with balloons and Birthday signs (thanks Lucy and Laura)! Chris had the event catered with delicious food and the weather was perfection!

We sailed through the Harbour for about 4 hours and everyone had a wonderful time. I'm still in a little bit of shock! Chris truly did an amazing job pulling this together and I am so lucky to have him in my life and so grateful for all of our friends that came to celebrate with me! (We even had a special guest from Hong Kong - so glad you could make it Rachel).

Anyways, just wanted to send out a big thanks again to Chris for making this birthday a special one! Feel free to take a look at pics from the night...




Thank you also for all the birthday wishes from my friends and family everywhere!

I have a bunch of other pics and stories to tell of our wonderful travels with my parents! (I will most likely back date those postings, but expect them very soon).
