Erica's 30th birthday!

For the past few months I have had a secret..........I was going to plan a surprise party for Erica's 30th birthday. Well, I had a few glitches along the way, but I think the night was a success. This is how is went..........Erica was suposed to meet us at 6:00 at Northpark before we were to meet the party at Chuy's at 7:30. Well, Erica got into a ton of traffic, so she didn't get to Northpark until 7:15!! I was freaking out because Erica kept wanting to stop in places......."Let me just run into the Seven store, oh, I love this store Olily, oh I forgot they had a Citizens store." I kpet saying, "Erica, I REALLY want a strawberry margarita." Anyway I finally got her out of there and we arrived ay Chuy's around 8 and Erica was totally surpirsed. We had a great time. After Chuy's we got a reccomendation from Austin's friend Emily about a taotto place. Erica has been talking forever about wanting a tatto and this was the night. I felt like I was on Miami Ink! Erica was very brave and now she will never forget her 30th birthday. Happy birthday to my best friend!!
