Well, first let it be known that I HATE surprises. I cannot stand not to know what is going on. Well, my birthday usually turns out to be just another day with a few people calling. This year was totally different! My birthday is actually today, but yesterday we had Zach's football game and then Andrew's first birthday party. (He was a late birthday present! He was born on the 27th, a day after mine!) Well, after Andrew's party, I came home because I have a history test on Tuesday that I need to seriously study for. Todd and the kids stayed over at The Goff's, which was nice because the house was quiet.
After a while, he came home and said that we needed to go and get potatoes. We went and got potatoes and then went over to Ben and Alicia's. Turns out Jessica, DJ, and Paige were there. Everything seemed ordinary to me. I was actually a little mad at Todd because it was 7:30 and we were just starting to cook and he would not let me go and get my books to study! Well, after dinner, we started to watch a movie and the next thing that I knew all the kids were coming around the corner singing "Happy Birthday" and Alicia had a cake. I was so surprised!! Todd had even taken the kids to get me a few presents! I, of course, love presents, but we are a little broke right now, so I could have done without!
I have to say that this was one of the best Birthdays that I have had in a long time! Todd and the kids gave me a $25 gift card to my favorite store, the Jon and Kate book, and some cards! Jessica and DJ gave me a really pretty ornament with a "V" on it and a necklace type thing to put my AUM name tag on!
I was very surprised to hear that this had been planned for a while and I did not know! I must add that the cake was a homemade cake, which means a lot!
One of the best things was Alicia told me that Todd said that I always make sure that everyone else has a something for their birthday and that it is a special day and even though I might be mad he wanted me to have that too!! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED---they are grateful for the things that I do!!!
I will post pics later......my computer had to be sent in for repairs, and I don't want to put a bunch of my pics on Todd's computer!
