Whirlwind!

Melody! Where have you been? Why haven’t you posted.. anything! Well a little while back… my girlfriends fiancee gave me a ring a ding and asked how possible would it be for me to get my ass down to Atlanta to surprise her for her ’29th’ birthday. I’m in.. made all the arrangement with my awesome hubby and just had to try my hardest to keep the secret. I’m not good at surprises.. sure it’s fun and all, but man did I want to tell her that I was on my way to see her! So, finally the day was here and on Friday.. the family dropped me off and I was on my way to Atlanta, GA! (susan, I know! so close!) The getting used to be being myself was a bit hard at first, I felt like I was constantly leaving the kids behind, but after a nice Starbucks at Logan, I calmed down. Car service picked me up in Atlanta (yeah.. he spoiled me rotten!) and I headed for my hotel suite with a big bed all for me. So so quiet. The surprise was planned for me to meet them at a near by restaurant and well.. did we ever surprise her. I showed up, POOF..and told her to scoot over and if it was ok that I sat with them? She was SHOCKED and I really think it took her the whole night to actually realize that I was there, sitting next to her. We ate a fabulous steak dinner, had many beers and just relaxed and caught up with each other! Perfection. When I got back to my room after a long day of goodbyes and surprises and beers.. I had beers & chocolates awaiting me in my room. (her man.. again!)
Saturday morning.. we hit the town. Two girls shopping and lunching talking gossip laughing… good good times. The plans for the evening, we were going to see the Blue Man group — and once again.. the man of hers..always thinking. Had a limo waiting for us all and we hit dinner first and then the show.

now, it is back to reality. I missed my kids and my husband. Mia was worried about me and Miles was happy that I had a happy weekend. Husband survived his weekend alone with the two little monsters, so big shout out thank you to him for allowing me to escape for a fantastic, rejuvanating, just what I wanted weekend.

AND.. today is my friend Merediths 39th birthday as well. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADY.. I hope you have a wonderful day full of cake, martini’s and presents!

    OMG…I am laughing at the pics…and loving the last one. So glad you had fun and got away! And thanks for the birthday wishes!! Take care, my crazy friend (and next year, you must come to Knoxville for the roller-disco 40th day!! PROMISE!!) No limos, but I bet my brother could chauffeur you around in his red pickup with the skull stickers on the back window. YEE-haw!

    Hey Meredith– Happy Birthday! I’m not sure how she’s gonna handle my 40th on the 17th and yours on the 19th but we’ll work something out! Mel- Thanks so much for coming down for the weekend!! What a birthday gift! I had such a great time…. I’ve never been so surprised…. I’m still a little ‘in shock’ believe it or not :) You and Ben are too much!!! Let’s get together for crazy fun again soon, k?

    I can’t believe you were so close! Looks like you had an awesome time in Hotlanta!

    WOW! Look at you lookin’ all sexy and stuff. I wish I was even just a little photogenic but I always wind up looking like some semi-overweight sixteen year old kid.
