Over the past week or so I have often thought and talked about when I was going to move my birthday to because this year having my birthday on January 22nd just wasn't going to work for me or any of my friends. But I couldn't find a time that would work so I half jokingly started telling people we were just going to celebrate my birthday on my half birthday this year. Even though the thought of having to wait that long actually made me sad not because of the gifts or anything it just didn't seem right - so somewhere along the way I realized I was people pleasing everyone even for my birthday celebration. Little did I know that my friends already had it all taken care of and they had out smarted me - I didn't even consider moving my birthday up by a weekend, but they did. So last night when Sarah Jordan asked me to go to dinner with her - I didn't think anything of it other then we were just going to dinner, which we actually had been trying to do for two weeks. Sarah came and picked me up and off to Manny's we went - the whole way there we just had normal conversation nothing out of the ordinary. It was only when we got to Manny's did she act a little strange, but even that she played off cool by just saying her roommate Jessica was here and we needed to find her. So when I walked into the back room and everyone yelled surprise I was really surprised - at first I thought they were yelling surprise for someone else and then I realized it was all of my friends and they were surprising me. It definitely took me a minute to process the whole thing. I will say I am very impressed with all of them for pulling it off and actually being able to surprise me because not that I try and ruin surprises I just figure stuff out and this I had no clue. Not to mention so many of my friends had lied to me for the past few days but they didn't seem like lies at the time so that didn't even throw me off. Needless to say my friends are amazing and I am so blessed to have them and I appreciate them for taking time out of their busy lives to celebrate my birthday. They made me feel so special and realize how loved I really am by all of them. Thank you all!
