The 4th of July was great. We did the parade thing with the Packards after devouring one of my mother's best recipes, sticky buns. I seriously need to not make those unless there are a lot of people around or I will eat them all. As the day went on it became more and more dreary. We decided to go to the fireworks with the ladies even though it was cold and drizzling. I am so glad we did. The girls loved them, especially Lily. Every explosion received oohs and ahhs. I think one of the best parts of motherhood is seeing things through your child's eyes for the first time.
Sunday morning Theresa called to tell me that her husband was annoying her and she needed to escape for a while. Like any good friend with in laws visiting I said I would love to go with her. She picked me up at 12:30 and we had a nice lunch at Panera and a good shopping excursion to Marshals and Target.
She dropped me off and as I opened the side door of the house I was completely surprised by all of my friends and neighbors and a 30th birthday party. I seriously had no clue and was in shock. It was great. We ate some great food and cake and played cornhole, Barbara and I are undefeated by the way.
Then I saw the invitation my husband sent out. Oh My God that guy is crazy organized! He had rules and regulations a page long. He put the fear of God into people! I guess that's a good quality for a program manager to have.
I can honestly say that was the best Birthday party I have ever had. Now I just have to actually turn 30, lol.
Wow!! Your husband gets serious points for that sneaky move...oh and Theresa too!
ReplyDeleteI got to experience it all from the sidelines. I did get an invite- sorry I could not come, the 5th was my MIL's birthday and I was hosting by default.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a wonderful surprise! And, your husband has a very solid career in Party Planning/Event Planning should he ever leave the military.
