Last night was supposed to be date night with Scott. We'd been planning it for a while. The original idea was miniature golf, but with my arm being the way it is, that was obviously out. We ultimately decided on dinner and a movie. But I had a bunch of girlfriends doing a movie night that I was supposed to be a part of, so we decided we'd stop by that before we went out. I talk about these girls all the time, but Scott doesn't really know them and he wanted to be able to put faces to names. Or so he said.
I walked in to find not movie night, but a surprise birthday party for ME! I was SHOCKED. I had no idea. And it wasn't just a party with the girls, they invited people from all areas of my life, getting them all together in one place. It was an amazing night. The food was excellent, the company even better, and the activities of the night were hilarious. I had an amazing time. But most importantly, I feel loved and appreciated by an incredible group of people. This is a huge change from a year ago where I didn't really have any friends to invite to a birthday party. I have amazing friends. And I am incredibly touched by all the effort and love that went into planning last night. My birthday is still a few days away, but already this is the best birthday I've ever had.

What a fun surprise! Everyone should have one good party given for them in their life. Your mother never gave you one. Glad someone did, and that you feel loved, cuz you are!
That is so sweet! That Scotty - he's a trickster. I'm glad you had fun! That sounds like a great birthday gathering. Just so you know, you were loved long before those friends came into your life. :)
I'm so glad you had a good time Elizabeth! And just think, your birthday week isn't even over yet... milk it for all it's worth!! :)
