So on Wednesday, September 30, I hit the big 2-9. The day was fairly ordinary. I got up, I got ready, I went to school. Whoopdeedoo. I stood in the hall, I did ELA, I taught my classes, I stood in the hall some more. Yippee. One should not have to work on one's birthday.
After school, I went to the post office to pick up the card that they would not leave at my house the day before. Steve had express mailed my card to make sure I got it in time. :) When I got home I had two boxes on my doorstep. WOOT! I love boxes!!! The first box was some stuff I had ordered from Garnet and Black Traditions. Hooray Gamecocks!!! The second box was a surprise!! From Korea!! KOREA!!!!!! Chalica sent me some fun elephant print shorts and a very cute elephant pillow! I loved my Korean box!! :) The day was looking up. :)
And then things got MUCH better. Steve sent me a text message. The conversation went something like this:
Steve: Are you home?
Me: Yep.
Steve: Ok. Got a bday text for you.
Me: Ok.
And then I received a picture message:
And I freaked out a little bit. :)
Me: When did you take that?
Steve: About 20 minutes ago.
Me: Are you messin' with me?
Steve: Would I do that?
Apparently he decided I was too slow at that point and called. "Come out on your porch," he said. And there he came. Down my street. All the way from New York. He drove to see me for my birthday. Ten hours in the car. For me. :) It was a WONDERFUL birthday surprise. :)
Steve and I went to meet friends at Tequila's for my birthday dinner. Jill, Chris, Michael, Krystle, Tara, Scott, Beezer, and Joel came out for my birthday dinner. Chris brought me this lovely cake. I found it hilarious that they misspelled "Speppy" and had to go back and squeeze the P in. Cake Wreck!!!
We had a lovely dinner with friends. :) I received so many birthday phone calls, cards, and messages! I am very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family! :) :) I think 29 is going to be a wonderful year!!
