I will start at the beginning. I wanted to have a co-ed bunco birthday celebration for my 35th birthday. so i started to plan my party, inviting only a small group of people to come and celebrate. My friend Jon even said "your planning your own party" Yes Jon, I was, lol. I sent out an Evite and everything. So, i go on making list's of things i will be needing and things i want to bake. My best friend, Harr, called me and said she wanted to take me on double date to the House of Blues Halloween Block Party the weekend before my party. It had been a year since our last double date so i was excited. as we get closer to the date of my bunco party, I make sure I have enough card tables. Friends saying I can barrow theirs and asking what food they can bring and so on..... I had Daniel ask my dad to babysit the boys. My dad said he could, then changed his mind (first red flag) then Harr was getting a babysitter for Easton and said that Kolby and Easton can be watched at my house (second red flag) why wouldn't she want the babysitter to put her boy to bed? we would be out to at least midnight. And that was going to be a little weird with Auston being at home too. I thought about it more and thought that it would be awkward for Auston having a babysitter here at the house watching the boys. So i called Harr, no answer. then i texted Harr about my mom just babysitting, no answer (third red flag). then Harr finally called me back and said ya it may be weird for Auston and to go ahead and call my mom, so i did. OK, babysitter in place I was ready for the night to begin. then i couldn't decide on what to wear. so i bribed Kolby to go to the store with me so i could find a new outfit for my night out. i found a cute dress and was excited it match the hot pink boa Harr bought me to wear.
Harr calls saying she can't get ready with Easton there so my mom is going to pick him up and bring him over to my house so she can get finished. Ok, no big deal. But then (fourth red flag) Daniel and I were going to pick up Harr & Sam. I thought why? they will just have to come back to my house to pick up Easton, why not leave from my house. Daniel says to me that it's not a big deal not to worry about it. OK.... So as we leave i comment to my sweet hubby "i am dressed for the club not a surprise party" lol. I was totally kidding and thought for sure we were still going downtown. As we drive to Harr's house, I scan the yard and street for cars. The only cars are down the street at the neighbors and it looks like they are having a party with all there halloween decor and lights on. I think nothing of it as my hubby and I walk up to the door and all the lights are off. Usually when Harr and I go anywhere she is still getting ready in the bathroom and that is the only light on besides the kitchen. So Harr opens the door I walk in and WALLLA "Surprise" my family & friends are there to celebrate my birthday with me. I was so excited and felt so loved. I have got an AWSOME BEST FRIEND!!! She is so amazing for doing this for me.
Do you think i look surprised? even after all the red flags, lol
Jon & Ginny... Ginny said I could barrow her car table. All along knowing about the surprise party. She even asked me what food she could bring and who else was coming, lol.
