surprise

sam never ceases to amaze me

every year for my birthday he has something up his sleeve

he is so good at keeping secrets!

(the delicious ice cream, reeses peanut butter with oreo crust, so much for the low fat diet I was advised to follow)

this year he went to an extreme 

it was my last birthday without a child

and it was also my 25 birthday... kinda a mile marker!

half way to 50, quarter of a century. wowsa

well friday night we were going to go to the utah gymnastics meet

i was so looking forward to it because it had been a rough day 

i had an unexpected baby appointment to make sure things were alright 

which resulted in blood being taken and some tough conversations

(luckily everything appeared to be good)

at about 630, I was just finishing dinner and getting ready to pick sam up from work 

one of his coworkers called me and told me he fell while helping in the OR and hurt his ankle

he was in the ER and I would have to come in and get him.... 

by get him I mean, WHEEL him out 

I completely lost it, I had all these great plans for the weekend and now everything was ruined!

but I knew I had to keep it together because the poor guy was hurt.

I have to admit I was suspicious of the whole story 

but Sam sealed the deal when he called me pretending to be emotional 

I picked him up and wheeled him out of the hospital while lugging all his stuff 

helped him into the car and drove him home

(here's Sam all bandaged up, his ankle was numb by the time we got home)

I tried to hold my emotions in on the ride but it was really hard

(i can't believe Sam didn't tell me it was all a fake when I was struggling) 

but we got home and I walked up to the back door to unlock it and noticed some streamers 

Some of our closest friends had come and decorated the house 

picked up the drinks and ice cream pie's Sam had ordered 

not only did they come to my party, they created the party!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

It was a fun night, I loved having everyone over

the company, the games and the food was perfect. 

Thanks for making me feel so special
