SHOCK OF MY LIFE!

Wow, talk about a heart stopper! Yesterday was the big day. 50 years old. I know, I don't look a day over 29! Nothing could have prepared me for the surprise I got. We had a relaxing day. Everything seemed normal. The kids decided we would go to the Church gym and play some basketball and then go to El Mexicano for dinner. Seemed ok to me. Nothing too unusual. Scott, Ryan and I went to the church but I wasn't going in because there were some cars there. The building was dark so Scott convinced me it must be a youth group gone somewhere and said Krista had texted him and was inside. So... I go in. I open the door to the recreation hall and SHOCK....friends, family, neighbors, kids, co-workers.. all their for ME!!!! I was speechless, for a moment. haha. It was so fun and touching that my family would do this for me, that all those I care about would come and be with me, (some of course had other obligations and were missed) but I was so happy and surprised I could hardly believe it. The girls and Mom and Pam did an amazing job with dinner. There was a GREAT Video Presentation that Krista and Valma spent many hours putting together. Thanks. It will be a memory I will keep with me always! Thanks to Scott, a great husband, for thinking to do something so special. It meant the world to me! Thank you for the wonderful and (entertaining) gifts. My family means the world to me. My girls worked so hard for this day. THANK YOU ALL
