Thank you!!

I'm so exhausted right now.

Andy, my family, and friends threw a surprise party for me yesterday!

Totally had no clue.

It was the best damn birthday gift ever!!

The plan was for Shawntell and Eric to come over then we were going to catch a movie and go to dinner. They were running late (not part of the plan but it worked to their advantage) but still got here just as I was done showering.

So I'm getting ready and at some point Shawntell mentions how she spoke to Linn and her and Nick wanted to go to the movies too.

I knew Linn and Mom were at a bridal shower that started at 2:30 but by now it's 4ish, so I call Linn.

I ask if the shower is over, she tells me it is, then I tell her about what time I think we're seeing a movie and to meet us at the theater.

She pauses and asks if we can drive out to her place first (way out of the way) because she wants to show off the basement to Shawntell and Eric. Linn told me later she was suprised I didn't hear the panic in her voice and catch on. *laughs* She also added that Nick had something to show Andy regarding Andy's drumset, just in case driving out to see the basement didn't appeal to me.

I told Shawntell, Eric, and Andy what Linn suggested and they were all game (of course). I probably should of clued in at that moment since Andy hates to go out of his way typically....but nope.. no clue.

We load up, head over, and as we're pulling up the drive, I see my mom dash towards the house. Odd, I thought, but not totally strange since they live close and visit a lot.

Then I realize that's Deb's car in the drive next to Linn's. (Everyone else hid their's behind the house)

I glanced up at the deck and see friends, family, and decorations.

And I start crying.

Andy says, "Surprise honey!".

Totally blown away.

We grilled out, drank (they made me do shots of tequilla), played on the trampoline, played Wii, listened to Andy rock out on his drums, and snuggled up to a bonfire to roast marshmellows.

What an awesome, awesome day.
