Little Did I Know....

Little did I know.....Steve had another surprise party for me!!!!

My friend Beth had invited me to go to lunch with them and to see a house they were making an offer on.  I LOVE to look at houses!!!!  When I got to Beth house, she had me some ice cold water and my favorite candy, Jr. Mints.  She also gave me some great smelling perfume from Victoria's Secret called Bombshell.  We went and looked at some of the houses and then she said that they were not really hungry and would it be okay if they took me home.  I thought it was a bit strange, but I I knew Steve and I were going to eat a big dinner on my birthday date.
When they took me home, I saw Scott's car and figured he and Steve were visiting or exercizing.  I thought nothing of it.  Steve had called about 2 minutes earlier and told me to come in the back gate because he wanted me to see something the girls were doing in the backyard.

SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I first saw my DAD, and then my MOM!!!!!!!!!  I was just flabergasted!!!!!  They had driven 5 hours to be there!  Then Kelly and Scott and their girls were out there, and Beth and Joey were in on the whole thing.  Steve had called Beth a week before and made plans for her to get me out of the house for a few hours.
I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve did good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had pizza and Crawfish.  I ate crawfish for about two solid hours.  It was very very good!!!!  Every bite just got better and better!

The girls wanted me to have a cat cake!  they were so proud.  It was really good and so cute!

Turning 40 has been great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I have felt so loved by the people I love most!

Happy Birthday! I've been reading your blog for awhile but never commented, but after what happened to me today, I had to! I am a nurse and was walking down the hallway at the hospital this morning, and a BIRD flew past me. I had to duck to avoid it running into me! I immediately thought of you :)

Love reading your blog!
