surprise!!

so my husband rocks... yes, he does!!

i am still so amazed~ he pulled off a surprise birthday party for me!! ~with the help of a few special ladies~

let me start at the beginning... my birthday was this past monday, june 8th... i turned the big age of 27... obviously not a year ending in a zero~ so a surprise party was the last thing i expected... the night of my birthday was lots of fun~ we went out to one of my all time favorite restaurants~ wahoo... it was extra special because my parents were in town house-hunting so they joined us, as well as jane & jim~ my aunt & uncle~ who are responsible for introducing jason & me... needless to say, it was a great celebration, especially because it included my all time favorite~ bread pudding!! yum!!

so i thought that was that... thursday i received an email from shannon inviting us over for a "low-key, last minute" dinner w/ our mutual friends oliver & ashley... we emailed back and forth about time and what to bring and the plans were set. we saw them friday night too and talked about being together the next evening, etc... so saturday was a nice family day~ we spent time at the pool, took naps, did a little work and then jason insisted that we get ready... well anyone who knows us well, knows that jason is about as laid back as they get, and i am the one who says "we've got to hurry... we're going to be late"... so it was a bit strange for jason to be so concerned about us being at shannon's right on time... anyways, without thinking about it anymore, i quickly got ready, thankfully put on a cute dress : ) and we got ready to head out the door... while doing so, we got a "worried call" from becky- one of our favorite neighbors- saying that she had a leak... jason told me that we'll just stop by on our way to the scheafbauers... well, again, i didn't think anything of it... when we got to becky's i saw the biggest leak, i ever had... i started to get a bit panicked, considering our company had done a lot of remodeling at becky's home, including plumbing work... i couldn't believe there was such a huge "leak"... as i got to the end of becky's driveway, i see a group of people to my right yelling "surprise!!" and a hose to my left spraying a ton of water- i realized why i had never seen a leak that big in my life. ha!

so then the party began and i was so thrilled and so surprised by everyone's effort and involvement!! we had a great time!! we had barbeque, sangria, shrimp boil and best of all~ more bread pudding~ paula deen style~ chocolate!! yum!! thank y'all for everything!!
