the big 3-0

Ed said that I could have anything I wanted for my 30th birthday. So I decided to splurge and go for Tokyo One -- all you can eat sushi buffet. When I was pregnant, I didn't get to eat raw things for over 8 months and we hardly go out specifically for sushi...so it was the perfect choice.

Amazingly, Phil and Jen made it b/c Baby Joey was late in coming. Yeh Yeh and Nana were on hand to help take care of Faith while her parents were stuffing their faces. Gordo, Amy, & Myla were there at the head of the table. Kara made an appearance from Dallas. Chibong was also there to help take some pictures. Simon and Mariella came so Faye could rest at home and recover from being sick.
