My 30th Birthday Surprise!!

So Wednesday afternoon I was outside shoveling our driveway. No reason, but to clean it off. Little did I know I was cleaning the driveway for guests. Nick drove up at 4pm...I asked him why he was home early. No reason, just cause he wanted to. He went outside with the boys and I was watching out the window at them when I noticed he waved at someone on the road and answered his cell phone at the same time. I quickly ran to the front of the house not seeing anyone in my drive but did see someone drive by. To me it looked like my friends philip and lana from atlanta but that was there old vehicle so I didn't think much of it. Decided that I just better brush my teeth since I hadn't all day:). Nick soon came in the house and told me he had a special delivery for me and that I should go to the basement and turn on the tv. So the boys and I went to the basement. Soon I was called upstairs.....and much to my amazment on the couch was sitting Philip, Lana, Naomi, Chloe, Rudy, Rocky and Avery. I was so shocked and so surprised and SO HAPPY!! My friends came to surprise me. Didn't know it was for my birthday, but just a surprise. How AWESOME!!

Here I am coming up the stairs ....video at the end of this post of my reaction:)

So then we went out to eat at Whistle Stop. On our way home that night nick asked me "do you trust me?" I responded "yes, why". He then pulled out a shirt to tie around my head. I was then starting to guess what was going on. ....what was at my house, who was at my house, what was going on...lots of guesses. I even rattled off a few names. Nick brought me into the house and it was very quiet. I was lead to the kitchen and then I removed my blindfold.

WOW!!!! I was shocked, in tears, so happy, so SHOCKED!!! I just sobed with excitment. Check out the other video at the end of this post for my "true" reaction. (note: this is from my sister Joy's facebook, so I am NOT 100% sure everyone can see it if you aren't friends with her on facebook).



Here are some pictures from my birthday party!! Now I know the real reason Philip and Lana came and I know that ALL my family members lied to me about how they were leaving on Wednesday to head home to florida(tricia and mark) and to Michigan (joy and jason). Those stinkers!!























Here is the video of my reaction to Philip and Lana and kids sitting in my living room!!
