Thanks to Everyone!
I don't have any cards to share yet today but I wanted to send out a thank you to all my friends and family! You see, my children had planned to have a "surprise" party for me tonight - which hubby let leak a few weeks ago greatly upsetting Emma and the others! When hubby said let's go out to dinner on Thursday night before your party I thought - Great! 2 nights I don't have to cook (heee heee!). So last night we went to a very nice restaurant in Wells, Maine! My poor hubby has a very bad cold and probably would rather have been in bed but he did great! He wanted to come home to watch a movie even though I wanted to stay out until the children would be asleep in bed (you Mom's know what I mean, right??)! When we got home, my Mom said the girls had something to show me in the family room - SURPRISE! I was totally shocked, my brother and his family and my in-laws and SIL were all there with balloons and presents - what fun!! I was totally surprised and confused - LOL! I haven't been surprised very often in my life, I usually suspect things, but I seriously had no idea this time so it was really fun! Thank you to my wonderful family for that! My husband tells me that Emma knew about this change in plans for about a week and half and never told the secret - incredible!!
Thanks also to all of you for the sweet birthday wishes, here and on Facebook! There's a Prettie hop going on (start at Christie's blog) that I need to finish up - check out the beautiful cards they made me! Thank you Pretties for making me feel so special!! :)
I'm off to have a great day - thanks so much everyone!!
How fun!! Welcome to the club, Julie!!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
What an awesome surprise! I didn't know you were turning 40, though. I, too, am not looking forward to that, so you'll have to help me embrace it when the time comes! LOL Have a great day!

ReplyDeletehappy belated birthday Julie!!!
ReplyDeleteI was just coming to your blog to wish you a Happy belated Birthday. I love the story about how they surprised you. We just pulled the same thing off with my Dad Tuesday. We had 32 people in their dark grape room and when my mom came in with him we turn the lights on and SURPRISE,I thought at first he might have a heart attack on us. It did scare him. It is hard to keep anything from my dad. It was so much fun.
ReplyDeleteKnow that you are Blessed to have a family that loves you to go to that trouble. Everyone doesn't have that. God Bless, JoAnn
I'm sorry I missed the day, but belated birthday wishes x
