Wow. My 30th birthday is tomorrow, and I'm not thrilled about it. Today I took my son to a birthday party and came back to a package waiting at my door. I was so excited! My book match went above and beyond.

First - as a birthday gift, a DVD of Pirate Radio. Cannot wait to watch it tonight after kids go to bed!

Second - a travel book to Australia, where we are thinking we will head on our honeymoon next Summer (I'm getting married in October.

Third - with an awesome note on it, a book on how to travel on the cheap. We'll be spending three weeks in Costa Rica this summer, and I cannot wait to lay on the beach and dig into this book to find out how to keep these adventures going!

Lastly, an awesome looking book for my kids that we don't have and I've never read (which is really hard to do, I've been an elementary school teacher for almost seven years).

AAAANNNND a note telling me there is one more box still to come!!! This is amazingly generous, and thank you so much!!!

UPDATE!!! I got three more books from my amazing Santa!! One about her home state of Maine, one from my wishlist (Into the Wild), and then one that I am SO happy she ignored her sisters advice on! Even though I've been living and running in the DC area for a couple years now, this book has lots of routes I've never tried!! Thank you!!
