My big 3-0 , JBB style

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 

I turned the big 3-0 in Iraq this year.  My wonderful mother sent me a box of labeled gifts for my birthday along with gifts from my grandma, aunt and friends. Thank you ALL SO MUCH for helping make my day a GREAT one!  It was fun to open gifts and see what I'm missing in the states! ha ha
 Me and all my great stuff................................

I got some awesome lotions, flip flops, sour straws, fan, water balloons, peach bellini mix, my FAVORITE CANDY..Golden Crumbles, and so many cards.


My office suprised me with a luncheon at the office, lumpia, wings, macaroni salad and a fresh made birthday.  Yes I sang and danced too, are you suprised! ha ha

I was in a First Sgt Sympsium on my b-day and shared my cupcakes mom sent me in b-day package. It was also another guys b-day in class.  I turend 30 and he turned 55!


I ended the day at salsa lesson night.  They suprised me AGAIN with an awesome cake and singing happy birthday to me.  The cake was an easter cake that they wrote B-day over the top!  It was teh cutest thing!
It meant so much to feel special on my day.  I am so lucky to have the greatest family and friends back home that emailed, sent cards and thought of me on my day.  I am very greatful to be surrounded by the most wonderful AF and now also Army family!
