surprise party!
my mother is amazing. let's just get that out in the open to begin with: my mom is amazing. and my sister is wonderful. and my friends are fantastic. and if i knew enough adjectives to describe them all, this post would go on forever.
i met my mom for lunch saturday. she asked me to be at her house by 12:30, and we started driving west. she was going on about how she wanted to take me to this place in homewood, but it didn't open until 3, and there was this little place in beecher, and she hoped my dad didn't get her lost taking the back roads. and we turn at this one corner and she says, "did i even say happy birthday, yet? happy birthday!" and i as i'm turning to her to say thank you, i realize we're turning into a parking lot that's filled with my friends' cars and there's a happy birthday banner on the door. and i almost started to cry.
my bunco girls were there; my girls night girls were there; my game night girls were there; marlana came up from indianapolis; malissa drove up from louisville even though i was just at her house two days before ... overwhelming. seriously. it was fabulous.
i don't have the group pictures on my camera, but i'll post 'em when i get 'em from joanie. i do have photos of the game playing, however, as after we had a delicious lunch (i think the goal was to fit as many of my favorite foods as possible onto two tables) we jumped into a game of partini. never played? it's a very good time.
yes, becca and chrissy were drawing on their heads. seriously, it's a fun game. and thanks to my generous friends, i know have the original game & both expansion packs. :)
i was taken completely by surprise. you are all so fantastic.

So what's Partini?
i'm glad that when i insisted you have a happy birthday, there were people around to enforce that. :-)
I'm glad you had such a good time. It was great seeing you!
