Surprise!

I must say 34 has been my unexpectedly best birthday in years! I guess it is because there is nothing you really celebrate about 34, so I had no expectations. Hooray for being plesantly surprised. :) And VERY surprised I was when, after my kids were in bed asleep at the end of the day (while I was sitting on the couch, wet hair pulled back into a bun, wearing yesterday’s mostly clean clothing and watching In Her Shoes on TV) when 6 of my dear friends showed up for a surprise birthday party! They came with THE cake of my dreams (I’ve mentioned it so many times in the past it’s embarrassing...) and Nate set up the LCD projector and we played RockBand. It looked like we were having a mini rave from the outside of our house and our neighbors asked us about it the next day. :) It was a lot of fun and a really great way to spend a Friday night.
