SURPRISE!!!

Birthdays are always such a funny day for me. It's not that I mind turning a year older, age is pretty much irrelevant to me (my mentality is still 18, and sometimes my body feels 80). Its the attention that you get on your birthday, and the questions of what do you want to do for your birthday, and what you want for your birthday....not that any of those are bad...but I am such a bad decision maker and I feel on your birthday you shouldn't have to make any decisions. The day should just unfold....and it did! Unfortunately the girls had there class "Valentine Day" parties so that meant a lot of time at the school (it wasn't that bad but aren't you suppose to do something like go to spa on your birthday? Yeah right...) So I bribed my mom to come hang out with me at the school (good thing 'cuz Haley had a substitute who I don't think had ever been around 5 year olds and to add to it....5 year olds on sugar). After school we met up with Amy and Ponch and had an early dinner (nachos...not really dinner). So we head home and I couldn't wait to open up my new sewing machine (present from Mom & Amy), what a perfect way to end the day (sewing, my new obsession)...right?

Before I continue with my day, let me tell you, usually I'm a pretty intuitive person, if something is going on behind my back I will know, or at least have some inkling (like I tell the girls I have eyes in the back of my head)...well not that day! When I walked through the door it was dark (normal), but when I saw a red light aiming at me (totally not normal), I let out a scream that you could hear down the street (good thing the neighbors were concerned), there was an awkward silence and then "SURPRISE"! If you've ever been surprised like that there is this emotion that comes to you and you don't know to laugh or cry...well I opted out for crying and went into hysteric laughing.

The person behind all of this....my husband! He made the phone calls, did the shopping (because there was a full taco bar), and some how kept it all from me. Ponch, thank you for taking the time to create such a memorable birthday, thank you for making me feel special that day (the best present), and I'm most appreciative to you for always bringing fun into my life! I love you...Dawn
