Yesterday's Suprise

Sorry I have not taken the time to Blog lately.  I've had the blogging slump.  Really its the every thing slump.  Getting the kiddos ready to go to school and out the door seems to be the most I can get done lately.  I've been slacking on my business. Just sort of in a slump all around.  I am so ready for Christmas break, I just can not wait. 
Soooo, Yesterday my friend Mandy picked up Mark and Alec.  She was going to two Christmas parties and she wanted to take the boys.  My husband and I loved the idea because it gave us some time with Blake.  So he got the boys ready and Mandy picked them up.  He was being so loving and attentive. He brought me a coffee from Starbucks while I was in bed.  He had gone to the store and bought cat litter and tp, and went to go get our basset hounds pills.  He did everything.  So I got ready and off to Bullhead we went.  When we got there we got gas and I thought we would go to Sam's club.  He said how about the Laughlin Mall..I said ok since we had not been there in forever..Its not really my favorite mall, but he offered so why not..So we cross the bridge and he keeps going straight, I'm thinking ok are we going to the mall the back way..He keeps driving and says we are going to Vegas..What?!...I didn't really want to go to Vegas because of the slump.  But figured why not..we never get away and we only had Blake.  So the whole time we are in Henderson I'm thinking we have to be back in K-town to get the boys by 6:30.
  We shopped and looked around and I spend my day looking at perfume and enjoying my time.  I guess I should have been suspicious because he was being so patient and taking his time.  Letting me look at everything I could ever want. We stopped at Railroad pass on our way back.  They have the best prime rib dinner there and its usually pretty cheap.Well they did raise the prices and it isn't the best deal anymore...but I really have not had prime rib dinner anywhere else that tastes as good!
We took the new bridge home.  Which is pretty neat.  Really cut down on our time.  It was sort of sad that it bypasses the hoover damn now.  You only get one small glimpse of it.  It wasn't scary like I thought would be.
Our trip home seemed to be taking FOREVER..I was getting really tired.  Brandon kept chatting with me and when he stopped for a bathroom break we only had 37 miles to get home.  Those 37 miles took so long and it seemed to be really dragging by.
Once into town I called Mandy and she said they were just getting ready to leave the "Party." She said for me to call her once we left home depot.  Brandon had to swing by there really quick. So once back in the car he called her to let her know we were headed home.  We got to the house and he got Blake out and I was getting a few bags from our trip and the garbage out.  I went to get the mail and the second I walked in the door I was greeted by this HUGE SURPRISE..and a bunch of friends and family! Brandon dragged me all the way to Vegas so they could throw me a surprise party for my 30th..which isn't until the 16th.  Suddenly everything started to come together..why they had to get me out of the house, why my husband was acting weird, my friends and how aloof they had been.  I was so touched, immediately I started crying and just could not believe that they had managed to keep a BIG secret from me.  I'm usually pretty nosy and snoopy and I didn't have the slightest clue.  It was great and I feel so loved and so grateful.

My kids were really with my Best friend Sarah! My friend Mandy was at my house with my other great friend Michelle doing some cleaning/decorating.  Hubby dragged me to Vegas to waste time.  His bathroom trips were really phone calls to my friends..I was sooo amazed! So shocked at how good all of my friend are..I don't have the pics yet..but I will try and post as soon as I do!
