THE BIG 30!!!

This post is a bit late, but I had to rub it in that Ben has just turned the big 30! He's so old!! Ok- it really didn't seem like that big of a deal though when I remember thinking 30 was so old when I was a kid. He survived though and still is not yet balding :)
We celebrated with a fun surprise party planned by his family and I which turned out great and he didn't even catch on! We had pizza and cake with friends and family and it was a great time. I made a cute little "GOLF" cake with the help of my talented little sister and mother-in-law, complete with green coconut grass, a green with a flag, and even a cool sand trap! It turned out great!
Ben got awesome stuff for our dutch oven we got this year for camping and a cozy BSU blanket which turned out great for the tickets he got to a BSU football game! He and I went while my awesome sister watched the kids (AGAIN) for us. I have only been to two games in the past five or so years and it was really fun and exciting. It's a little different now, not being a cheerleader or even a student- but the excitement and loyalty you feel for the team is still there so it's great. I still get goose bumps whent he crowd starts yelling 'BOISE...STATE!' from side to side. That was my first memory of beign a college cheerleader in a huge stadium with actual fans and I will never forget those great memories :)
Anyway- we had a blast and thanks so much to Beth and Nick for the tickets :) All is going well here in the new place back in Boise, Macee started pre-school which she loes and the teacher seems great! She hasn't found any friends int he neighborhood wuite yet, but has introduced herself to a few elderly neighbors :) Social Macee as usual! WE sure do miss everyone in our old neighborhood though :( I just got a job serving in the evennings a few nights a week at a place called Carrabbas- a yummy Italian Grill! Great food if you ever get to one :)
That's all for now from the Greenwoods- hope all is well!
