Happy 30th Birthday Nikki!

My dear friend Nicole Clark is turning 30 today. We celebrated her birthday with a surprise party that Karen, I and her boyfriend Jason planned last Saturday (August 11th.) It was a huge success. There were lots of decorations, lots of food, a few cakes and drinks & dancing too! I am not sure exactly how surprised she was, but she was very happy and had a good time, so that is the most important! I will be posting pics of our crazy night. I took around 230 photos so there were a few good ones. I think we had about 40 people including family and friends so that was a good turn out and it was nice for all of us to be able to get together. We have another busy weekend ahead. My co-worker Jeremy's wedding is this weekend at Lincoln City. We are taking the babies as was encouraged by the happy couple. Their son Tanner (who is near Brooklynds age) will be in the wedding. I have my last speech for class due on Sunday and my final paper for my writing class due as well. Then a break for a few weeks and back to it for Fall Term. Darren is working a lot still he works full time at his job with the union and about 20 hours in 3-4 days at his second job. It's wearing on him a little and the boys and I dearly miss him during the week too, but he will continue it for a while longer.
