My Birthday

My birthday this year was absolutly awesome! I will have to say a BIG THANK YOU to my amazing hubby for making it all happen and for working his magic! John understands that birthdays have always been made extrememly special for me. He also knows that I love surprises, so he worked will hard on this one. The Eve of my birthday John told me that once I got off of work that I had to get ready to go out to a"nicer" restaurant with some people. He wouldn't tell me who with or where which I totally loved the suspense! And because of my super sly family and friends, I really had NO clue what the heck was going on! I got off of work, came home and got spiffed up and we hit the road. Still clueless. We headed to Clarksville and began to pass all of the restaurants. I kept eliminating the restaurants as we would pass them. I had fun with it. Then as we approached the place John shouted, "RED LOBSTER". If you are an active reader, you know that I LOVE crab legs and LOVE Red Lobster. I was super stoked! As we pulled in I was laughing and looking for "familiar" cars. None were in sight, so John told me that we were dinner for two. Once we got in Holly and Sam were there at a table! I was so excited! Those sly dogs told me that they were going to their "small group" that night, so I ruled dinner with them out long ago. It was a wonderful dinner with great company! I ate crab legs of course! salad, and Holly and Sam ordered me some yummy cheese sticks! Afterwards John and I got a movie and we watched it over at Holly and Sam's place. It was a real treat, and one GREAT surprise!

The morning of my birthday was so special. You see, my mom ALWAYS made birthdays a huge deal with the "birthday table" and all! (My parents got me this bracelet for my birthday. I LOVE the bling!)John took all of this into thought I know! He told me to sleep in for a while so Heidi and I watched some TV while John got to work on stuff. He finally let me come into the rest of the house. Much to my surprise, he made me pancakes and had my gift on the table with all of my birthday cards set up! He got me a Kathy VanZeeland purse that HE picked out himself! I love love LOVE it so much! I think he was pretty proud of himself! I know that I was! He told me that he waited at the store for an hour for the newtruck to deliver the newest ones! Too cute! Once we were finished with breakfast and gifts, he told me to get ready to do whatever I wanted. So we headed to Starbucks for some yummy coffee, went to Lowes where he let me pick out a firepit for our patio, ate lunch at an amazing Chinese buffet and then decided to go home and spend time outside together. It was an absolute, perfect day! We loved and soaked up every single moment of it. That night John's family dropped by to bring my gift. They got me some awesome gardening things! I can't wait to use them! Now I have cute stuff to put on my gardening bench! My birthday was so special. It was the most perfect birthday that I could have ever asked for! Really good first birthday married too! I am SO blessed to have such an incredible husband, family, and friends. THANK YOU for making my birthday so great!
