Surprise For Me !!

June 19th was a Friday.. yep yep that also happens to be my birthday.. Now it is no secret that this is the birthday I have dreading for years now.. The big 3..0.. !!

Earlier in the week Cortney had called to see what were our plans for that night. I told her we would probably go to dinner or something. She asked if we wanted to come over and cookout. I said sure and it was a plan.

I spent that day relaxing.. Going to the pool and such.. Then came home and took my time getting ready. But while at the pool, Michael texted me asking where I wanted to eat that night. I texted back that we were eating at Corts, we had only talked about this a million times over the last few days.. DUH... He then texted back and asked me to call to see if they wanted to go out, maybe to Buffalo Wild Wings. WHAT !! That is such a guy place.... I said NO.. Number 1 that is no where I wanted to eat for my birthday and Number 2.. how rude would that have been.. no way was that even an option. Now I thought this was weird, Michael is always all about what I want to do for my birthday. I called Cort to see if she had talked with Michael because he was acting so weird. She was a wonderful actress and played it off.

Once Michael got home he was complaining like crazy about going over to Cort and Trey's.. Just about getting on my last nerve.. Then he says after dinner maybe we can go see a movie.. "I have heard Hangover is good" he says.. WHAT "Hangover".... Not even close to being my type of movie.. NO !! We brought the paper for movie listing anyway.. But I brought a few games to maybe play after dinner.

So I walked into Cort and Treys house with my purse, A sweater (in case we did go to a movie.. it is always so cold in there), the paper for movie listings, and a bag with games inside !!!

I walked in, hug Cort.... and then... SURPRISE !!!!

This flat cracked me up.. A surprise party for me !!
