Surprise!!!
I can finally tell you!! I went home this weekend to surprise my Daddy for his birthday! I was itching to tell you before, but I knew if it was in any way indicated on the blog, it would ruin the surprise my mom and sisters have been working so hard to keep quiet.
It was so nice to go back to Lexington for a bit. I must say, though, it's amazing how much more "rural town" it feels after such a short time in this bustling metropolis.
I flew out Friday after work, and was graciously picked up from the airport by my long-time best friend Courtney and her brilliant husband Alex. :) Yes, I brag on you too, Alex. Everyone had worked very hard to keep Daddy up til 11:30, but he was determined he was going to bed, so I walked in to surprise him right after he got under the covers. haha! I think it was a delightful surprise, and everyone had fun with it!
The weekend was a whirlwind with our constantly expanding family, but it was quite fun and refreshing to see everyone!
Saturday we had a big lunch of Hudson's BBQ and marvelous sides a la Modenna's kitchen with all of my family (including the "bonus" daughter Courtney and our precious foster child). The lemon cake mom made was off the chain, and I decorated it to be so pretty!
Happy Birthday Daddy!!!
Our new little (soon to be linebacker) addition! Isn't he precious?!
Dad's "bonus" daughter and my Bestie, Courtney, aka Snort (and no, she doesn't snort).
In case you didn't note the boots in the opening picture... And thanks for all your responses. They're keepers!
Two of my favorite men in the whole wide world!
Amendment to post on Thursday for those of you that inquired:
Potholes are ridiculous, I mean, RIDICULOUS, up here after weeks of snow, ice, and plows. I hit one that night that was so large it covered the entire left half of the lane I was in, and it was deep enough that the underneath of my car hit the ground when I couldn't avoid missing it. It was crazy. And, no, I couldn't swerve to miss it as there was a median to my left and a car to my right, and it was a dimly lit area of the curve which meant I hit it going about 35 mph. Uhh, NOT good for my car. It was one of those days where I thought about trading my darling civic in for a CRV with 4-wheel drive and a higher suspension. So, although potholes won't be the death of me, I'm hoping and praying they won't be the death of my little honda.
Stay tuned tomorrow for my interesting airplane story. Here's a hint... I sat next to a famous person. Intrigued?
Was it the guy from LMFAO? And did he try to start something with you?? Pshhh... Rockstars.
