Justin surprised me this morning with a package of Sweedish Fish and a sweet card. On the front of the card it had a cute picture of a woman at a spa getting a pedicure. The card said, "Pamper yourself. It is your birthday!" When I opened it, a piece of paper fell out. On it, it had an address with the time 2:30 today written underneath it!
I knew this must have taken a lot of research on Justin's part, this spa had just opened, and he would have to take a half day off! I was so excited!
Sommers and Shaydon came over to wish me a "Happy Birthday!" Sommers gave me the cutest dress I can't wait to wear, when I have some tan legs, that is! It is so cute, perfect for all seasons! She knows my taste all too well. We then took our boys to the "duck park" in Nampa and fed the ducks cruotons and costco muffins.
Sommers had to leave for a lunch date with her cousin, so we stayed at the park and waited for Jusin. Trey enjoyed the slides and swings.
Justin took us to Hong Kong for a lunch date, and while we were there, I had birthday phone calls from my uncle Marshall and Great Aunt Donna! So kind of them for thinking of me.
Justin told me that he got me a massage, pedicure and manicure at the spa. I haven't had a massage by anyone else but Sommers (she is a massage therapist!) and I had a question to ask her about my massage. I called her on her cell, appoligizing that i was interupting her lunch date. She said I wasn't, she was actually getting her hair done like she had always planned on doing. A little back ground: I was supposed to watch Shaydon on this day while she went to a hair appointment. Mysteriously, Sommers called me a day before saying her stylist canceled, but she still wanted to come and see me on my birthday. Sommers rearranged her whole schedule just for me and my birthday. She was in on the whole day, Justin had told her about the spa package! She is the greatest friend and wished me a great afternoon at the spa!
The spa was fantastic. The massage was very relaxing and quiet. The therapist didn't talk ONCE, and that was perfect!
My pedicure was so rewarding and the manicure was well needed.
I came home so relaxed, energized and ready to see my boys. Justin was so inspired. His gift was what the doctor ordered, so satisfying and relaxing!
While I had been away, Justin found a cupcake on our doorstep, left by my sweet friend Alyce! We cut it in thirds, Justin and Trey sang "Happy Birthday" to me, and we dove into Alyce's cupcake. It was delicious!
(don't I look relaxed?!)
Thanks to all who made my birthday so special and memorable. Thank you to all of the phone calls, they meant so much to me! I really am blessed!
