My birthday started with the movie "Dan in Real Life". We stayed up WAY late Thursday, ("technically" Friday...the 21st) What a GREAT movie. Favorite quotes: "YOU are a MURDERER of LOVE!" (funniest part)
"Love is messy." (....*sigh*....how true)
"Plan to be Surprised!" (theme for the day)
Of course the morning was filled with some Rock Band, courtesy my kids.
Shopping and funny pics in the car with my sister

Cousin CJ comes to play! 
Dinner with the fam. (Lily was a big fan of dessert)
Prezzies, yummy Cold Stone cake, and calls from friends rounded out the near perfect day. "Near" perfect, because the only thing missing was my love. He has been busy driving all our belongings to Houston, and then flying to California for a meeting. We'd talked a few times on the phone, and I called him once more before I went to bed. I told him I loved him and missed him, and was so excited to see him again on Thursday. And with that, I went to sleep, content and happy with the beginning of my 27th year. At 4:30 am I was startled awake by Dave sitting me up in bed. I don't remember the "freak out" moment he describes, but I CAN remember not being able to wrap my mind around WHAT was happening! haha! Dave switched his tickets and instead of flying back to Houston, surprised me by popping in for the weekend (yeah Easter). The only snag was that all the flights (on his airline) into KC were booked until Monday, so he had to fly into St. Louis (4 hours away)...and SOMEHOW he got his friend (thank you Ben...and Margaret you are a GOOD liar) to pick him up! And with that, once again like the years before, my birthday was PERFECT!
