Sorry ladies he's taken!

Yesterday was my birthday and as usual I was not disappointed. I will never be one to complain about the terrible gifts or forgetful memory of my spouse. Because it was a school and work day my party didn't start until after school. Jeremy took off early to meet the kids and prepare for the evening. He sent me to pick up Nadirah and Riley while he and Bailey added the last finishing touches. So when we walked in the garage door I was immediately quarantined to the bedroom, where I decided to straighten our already clean room and almost found one of my surprises. I'm so bad about unintentionally ruining surprises, but luckily he found me quickly enough to redirect me. Within minutes they were all ready so they walked me to the kitchen table where the kids left my cards and gifts. Bailey designed a large Happy Birthday banner. Riley made me a really sweet card, bought me two Reese's big cups (my favorite) and had money for coffee enclosed. The girls gave me coupons to redeem 1 free dinner and 1 free carwash which I can't wait to cash in!! Finally it was Jeremy's turn which started with a clue that ultimately led to 13 others. Each clue led me to different parts of the house , included a little geography knowledge (which I'm sad to say I had to cheat thanks to Google), challenged me to remember important dates and scripture verses, he actually even included our new dog, and some riddles. I ended up with a new standing KitchenAid mixer, a brand new professional hairdryer, and chocolate covered strawberries. Every time I say I like or want something Jeremy stores it away and is able to recall all those details when he needs to and yet every year I'm still surprised at how much attention he gives me:) To top all that off I received a gift basket from my mother consisting mostly of chocolate! The evening finished with Jeremy making me dinner, playing games with the kids, and lastly a back rub ~ I'm so spoiled and I love every minute of it almost more than Jeremy.
