Yesterday was my Birthday!! I had a very wonderful day!! (For all of you that are curious, I turned 26.)
** Warning....long post ahead with no photos! **
Josh had told me about 2 weeks ago that he knew what he was doing for me for my birthday, but he wasn't going to tell me what it was! Well, that drove me absolutely crazy! I very strongly dislike not knowing secrets, so I was trying really hard to figure out what he had planned and to con him out of the information, but he's just too good at keeping secrets!! :) So, I got up yesterday morning still trying to figure out the surprise but not having any luck. He told me that I'd just find out what was going on as the day progressed!
While I was at work yesterday, I kept getting messages from Facebook that people were writing on my wall. Unfortunately, I cannot access Facebook from work, so I was slightly disappointed that I wouldn't be able to read all the messages until after work sometime. THEN....I started getting the following series of messages from my wonderful husband...

This is Action News Reporter Chick N. Tender reporting from the scene of a major disturbance. It seems that Sarah Cushman has written on Shannon Smith's wall. Police have mounted a search for Sarah and there is no word if charges will be filed. More on this developing story as we get it.

This is Hav'a Mul Ett bringing you an update to the "Graphitti" story we mentioned earlier: We're going live to Chick N. Tender:
Good Morning Hav'a. I'm reporting again from Shannon Smith's wall. It seems that this has become a mob disturbance as twenty people have now been indicted in what is being called "Birthday Graphitti of 2007". The latest charges have been filed against Sarah Pontius and Kelli Buckworth. An aide in the mayor's office said that if Shannon would have skipped her birthday, these "Riots" could have been avoided, but no word on wether charges will be filed against Shannon for "having her birthday." Keeping you up to date; this is Action News Reporter Chick N. Tender.

That was the end of the news bulletins, but Josh kept sending me the screen shots periodically as people wrote on my wall. However, I do have some sad news. Unfortunately, Chick N. Tender met his demise later on in the day when I believe Josh ate him for lunch!! :)
On with the birthday story....
Shortly after lunch time, my Dad calls me to wish me a Happy Birthday. While we were talking he told me that he had thought about coming down to have lunch with me, but my Mom had told him that my friend, Trina, was going to be taking me out for lunch so he didn't come down. Well...that confused me! I had eaten lunch by myself! No word from Trina. So I kinda just blew it off thinking maybe she had thought about doing that and her plans had changed and it was never mentioned to me.
Later on yesterday after my husband came and visited me and brought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers (roses and lilies) and some birthday balloons! How sweet of him!
Well, now for the confusing (to me part of the day!!) Monday afternoon I had made plans with my friend Trina and Josh to maybe meet Trina at the hospital after work to visit her new niece who had been born last week a bit premature. So shortly before 5 I sent Josh an IM asking him if I should call Trina to find out if she was still meeting us at the hospital. He said not to because we'd just show up over there.
Well, about 1 minute after that conversation, Trina shows up at my office! I was really confused!!! She looks at me and smiles and says, "I'm your dinner date!"
Josh had planned (several weeks ago) for Trina, and her Mom (also my friend) Silvia to have dinner together and have a girls night out! I was soooo surprised!!
Our first stop really was to the hospital to visit the baby! I even got to hold her! Then we went to the new Texas Roadhouse here in town for supper! That part made my day! I've been wanting to eat there for quite a while but couldn't! (Josh is allergic to peanuts, and they have peanuts ALL OVER that restaurant!)
We then went shopping and I found a few really cute baby outfits. I was also supposed to be picking out my Birthday present. Well, I couldn't decide what to get! I ended up getting a Willow Tree figurine that is of a couple holding an infant! Perfect!!
All-in-all, I had a WONDERFUL birthday!!
Thanks Josh for making my day so special!! I love you!
