The Faulkner's: Surprise!!!

On Friday night my friends threw me a 30th surprise birthday party! I was SO SURPRISED and shocked! I've never had anyone throw me a surprise party! Apparently,about a month ago, Katie, my best friend, told Michael she wanted to throw me a surprise party. LOVE HER! So, they had been scheming for a while and I had no clue. On Friday night Katie, Nicole, and myself were going to go to dinner to kind of celebrate my birthday. I didn't want to make a big deal about it because I'm not much on being the center of attention. :) Katie said she'd call a few of our friends to come...but later she had said that everyone was busy and it was just going to be she and Nicole. I was totally fine with that- I was just looking forward to nice peaceful dinner where I didn't have to cook or clean up!

So, Friday night came. Before I walked out of the door I pulled a pizza out of the oven for Michael and Bailey to eat. I gave him strict instructions on what she was to eat, etc. :) As I was walking out of the door Michael said, "Is Eric home? I need to ask him an Opthamology question. I had this neat case today and I really want to ask him about it." My response was, "Can this not wait until tomorrow? I want to go and Bailey needs to eat." He said, "No, I really need to talk talk to him." So, he grabbed Bailey and we all three went marching over to Katie and Eric's. I walk in to their kitchen and everyone yells "SURPRISE!" It was truly one of the best things anyone has ever done for me! All of my friends were there and everyone brought yummy food to eat. I am so thankful and blessed to have THE BEST friends in the world. I don't know what I'd do with any of you! I love you all!!!
