The Only Thing I Could Have Asked For..

Was to have my family out here on my birthday. After a 3:30am wake up Friday morning and a 8hr round trip drive to the St. Louise Temple, I came home to the best and sweetest surprise my husband has ever given me.. my mom and dad waiting for me in my living room... on my couch... in my house!!! I had NO idea they were coming and still have NO idea how he pulled it off, but I knew it couldn't get better then that. But all of you who know Ty know he didn't just stop there.....
Later that night, he suggested that we go to one of our favorite restaurants out here so my parents could check it out. Well, we arrive and the host asks "Are you Ty? We reserved the whole patio for you." (which wasn't weird to me because we know the owner and he always takes care of us) So we walked out onto the patio and before I had time to digest why the patio was totally filled when they just said they reserved it for us, I hear a chorus of HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Yeah... it's a good thing I have a nice, strong heart. The whole patio was filled with all our friends out here! And to top it all off, I finally got a wii fit!! We've been searching for it since my last birthday (not very hard, but still!) and a couple weeks ago they just decided to put a whole bunch out. YAY!!Needless to say, on Saturday (my real birthday) we played the wii fit for hours. It was a blast watching my parents! They're so much fun!
Although we originally planned to have a day of volleyball and grilling in the park that day, we were instead able to just relax. We went to breakfast/lunch at this new place we've been hearing great things about, then went to a movie, then Liberty jail and a couple of other church sites, then to the farmers market to pick up some fruits and veggies, then had a little bbq on our porch and played some more wii fit. It was the best birthday ever!
Thanks so much mom and dad for giving me such an awesome birthday present... YOU! And thank you Ty for all your sneaky planning and for being the coolest husband EVER!!
