So, here's how it went down.
Lance and I were on shift, doing our thing. I had told Lance that I wanted nothing exciting. My mom was bringing me a cake. That was enough for me! He didn't listen.
I had a really hard time sleeping the night before, so finally, I woke up about 430 on the 31st and packed up my room (we were moving stations) and then took my book, my blanket, my water bottle and off to the day room.
"BOO!!" Lance hollered, effectively stopping my heart.
We did a lot of packing and planning and helping set up the new ambulances. Then around 1:30, Kristen showed up - Lance's girl friend and my friend. Then we got a transfer.. Blast.
Lance was a lot more antsy about it, than I was. Usually I'm the impatient one. So we accomplished our transfer and we went back to the station.
Lance was all but pushing me through the door.
And there I was greeted by the faces of most of my favorite people. Mom, Becca, Dane and Caitlin, Mike, Allison (later joined by Tessa and Mollie the dog) Lance is sneaky. I didn't suspect anything
I thought he was up to something, but he's always up to something. I didn't suspect a birthday party!
We had pizza. Strawberry cake, lots of love. It was brilliant.
Then on the 1st, I had ANOTHER surprise party! 2 surprise parties for one birthday!! Wow! I am a lucky lady!
In attendance were: Allision (the wonderful host!) Becca (the brilliant schemer) Nikki (In spirit, she was part of the original planning. Also the cake extraordinaire), Lee, Caleb, Mike, Kevin, Jon, Joel (he was working, but Jon was his representative), and myself.
It was wonderful. I have never felt so much love. Even though I had to work, it was easily the best birthday ever. I am a luck 23 year old. (Good think I'm the height of a 10 year old. That knocks a few years off, right?)
