My Birthday Weekend!!

Hey there! Let me just start off by saying that this was probably the best birthday weekend ever. I'll explain :)

So the entire week or two before my birthday I kept asking Patrick "what in the world are we going to do for my b-day" and of course he wouldn't tell me. I should have known!

So when the evening of the 12th rolled around Patrick laid a card on my pillow that was super cute and it talked about how it was going to be a great birthday weekend. The next morning I woke up and he had made me breakfast in bed. WOW! I was so impressed and excited.

Then, I got ready for work because I had a meeting at the store, so while I was in my meeting who else walks in but my very own husband and hands me some beautiful sunflowers and another hilarious card. I think I was speechless for a few seconds there. I introduced Patrick to the guy I was meeting with from the Dallas Morning News and then he left.

I finished my work that day and he had already warned me to be ready at 5:20, not 5:15 or 5:30, but 5:20 :) So I was and before we left the house he put a tie on me as a blindfold. Hmmm? We got in the car and he drove for about 20 minutes or so and asked me every now and then, "Do you know where you are?" and I said "All I can tell is that we have been going strait." So after that he starting making U turns in parking lots to try to throw me off the trail!

We get to our destination (which from our conversation I was under the impression that we were going to the airport) and he told me to wait in the car. I did, and also locked him out of the car but then I hear someone knocking on my window as well as the driver's window. WHAT??

I unlocked the door and took off my tie i.e blindfold and saw my sweet parents standing there! It was so awesome and Patrick had arranged for them to have dinner with us at The Melting Pot :) We told them at Christmas that if they came down we would all go to eat Fondue and they finally did on my birthday!!! I was so glad to see them and we had so much fun eating fondue. My husband is pretty sneaky :)

So then we all went back to our apartment, which was embarassingly messy and opened presents. Actually, Patrick gave me a present at the restaurant and I can't wait to use it, fun fun! My parents gave me some really cool things so that was awesome and then they left to go to their hotel for the night.

The next morning at 8 we met them at the Deli in Coppell and then walked over to the Farmer's Market. The store had a booth set up and they were selling stuff from our bakery, so I introduced my family to a few cool people from the store. After buying a few fresh veggies we had to say our goodbye's to my parents and it was sad.

After that Patrick and I went to Starbucks because sitting there with him and talking is one of my favorite things to do, and then we went to see "The Happening" and it was a really good movie.

It had Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel staring. The director and writer was M. Night Shyamalan and that was the real reason I wanted to see it, plus the previews looked good :)

We came home and ate a little something, I think I took a nap and then we went out to eat with Jen and Landon and Jen's brother at Cheddar's. YUM, and they got me a new battery for my camera so I was super excited and now I can start taking pictures again!

Yesterday, we spent lots of time with each other and it was really nice. I had a GREAT time and really felt alot of love from all of the people who called and emailed. I know how blessed I am to have such wonderful family and friends. I am so thankful everyday. Thanks so much to everyone and I hope you enjoyed reading!

Have a great Monday!
