So I woke up in the morning still in a bad mood, silently got ready for work, Curt then offered to drive me to work. I was still put out so I just said whatever. He dropped me off and said he'd pick me up at 4. I just waved him off. So 4 rolls around and Curt keeps texting asking if I am ready, when I'll be outside, am I coming. I took my own sweet time just to bug him. I got out to the car and he said he needed to drop something off at his sister Connie's house I just said whatever. So we get there, I smell like pizza I don't want to get out of the car, he walks over to my door opens it to let me out. I just sat there. Then realizing he wasn't about to leave me in the car I pulled myself out of the car clearly making my point I was unhappy about all of this. We walk in the front door and something looked different and there was something hanging on the ceiling I just brushed it off. We walk in Connie says hey whats up then we get in to the front family room and there is all of Curt's family AND my family they burst out SURPRISE!!! Then proceed to sing the happy birthday song. I just looked at Curt and glared. He said see I told you I'd make it up to you. I love you. I was so embarrassed because my hair was a gross mess from work, I smelt like pizza, and I looked homeless. But my thoughtful hubby just is on top of everything and even brought me my new birthday shirt and clean clothes, my body spray, and a brush to fix my hair.
We first ate pulled pork burritos yum :) Then we played games like the balloon stomp
The egg cracking game (a Newman favorite)
Then it was time for presents and cake, my cake was made by my mother-in-law it was delish. It was yellow cake with a fudge middle with pirouettes on the whole outside and crumbled candy bars on top yummy :) I got socks from my Karla, A gift card to Claire's from Joey and Leslie, lime juicer from my mother-in-law, and socks, breakfast and a puzzle from Connie. My mommy got me my first very own Halloween candy dish :D its a Dracula and it is so cute can't wait to use it :) and some very large very cute chunky silver hoops :) I was a good surprise even though I hate surprises :P
My husband made my day special that's for sure.
I also, even though I wasn't in Orem to go visit her, thought a lot about my Auntie whom I share a birthday with. She hasn't been here for our birthday for 6 years now but I believe she is celebrating with me whether others can see her or not. She used to tell me that I could take her birthday age so I would age two years and she would stay the same age :) I loved that idea my mother not so much but it never seemed to really work I still only get one year older every birthday which one day I will be happy about. I love you Aunt Lizzi
