Seriously!!
The Friday before my birthday, the 9th, Josh told me had gotten a babysitter and was planning on taking me to Clash of The Titans. I was shocked!! But whatever, okay!! I was super excited! So he came home and I was in jeans and a t-shirt. He asked me why I wasn't ready, and I said, "It's dark. No one is going to care what I look like at the theater." And then he said, "Well, don't you want to look sexy for me?" Um, no!! Anyway, he convinced me to go and get ready.
Mandee called just as we were leaving and asked if I had any spaghetti sauce. She was supposed to be helping with an Elders Quorum party and the girl who was supposed to bring the spaghetti sauce, didn't' bring it. Would I mind stopping by on our way to the movie to drop off the cans I had?
Sure. Grumble, grumble, we are going to be late to the movie. Josh is all calm and collected. He's telling me not to worry, we'll make it on time. So we get to the church and no cars are in the parking lot. None! Weird, but Mandee comes out and asks Josh if he can hurry and help her open a door that stuck.
I still had no idea what was going on! So we went inside and Mandee said, "Here let's go through the gym to the kitchen." So she throws open the door and I see a bunch of really familiar people standing there. I made to go straight, but Josh shoved me in the door and everyone yelled,
" Surprise!"
I was so shocked. I really had no idea at all! The gym looked so beautiful. Mandee, Kris, and Maggie did a fabulous job with the decorations, the food, and the guest list. They had a lot of help from my hubby. They even had a slide show of pictures! When Josh had his broken back, they came up and went through all of my pictures. They even read the autobiography I wrote for College Prep English! Yikes! Sorry Rowland and Kris. You learned much more about me that you really needed to!
Adam kept putting the cone on my head, it made a great party hat.
I did get a little bit emotional after I watched the slide show. It's amazing how much you can accomplish in 3o-years. At the end of the video it showed something similar to credits and added all the important people in my life. At the very end it said. Please don't kill us! It was pretty funny.
It really was very beautiful. We had a sit down dinner and played a game of How Well do you know Brandy? It was a lot of fun!Thanks to everyone who plotted against me!! I still can't believe I didn't have any idea. It was a lovely night!
