Yeah, yeah I had a birthday. My little sisters have already informed that I'm an old fart/old lady. They're so sweet :) But yes- it was the big 25. When I was little... I really imagined myself having at least one kid by this point... but alas.. not any yet! It's in fact quite the opposite- I found out today that I get to have a tumor removed that's found a home on my left ovary. Joy.
But back to my birthday!!
It all started Sunday when I thought we were just eating dinner at a friends house- BUT after dinner, out came cupcakes and presents! They had sneakily turned our dinner party into a birthday party. I love it when birthdays last all week.
Wednesday rolled around and I had to work and Jon had to take a huge test (that pretty much determined whether he is competent to be a PhD student or not! Kind of a big deal...) so it was kinda low key....but at least Jon wasn't in CHINA and there WERE presents! Jon wrapped them by throwing blankets over them.. a very nice touch.
It's a jewelry box! The biggest jewelry box ever! Just what I needed!
What's under this blanket?
A card from Jon's fam!
Wait, the jewelry box was from Jon's family! Sooo... what did you get me Jon?
Behold blanket number 3...
I found an envelope... that was addressed from Apple... this is me giving Jon the "You didn't!" face...
But where IS the Apple merchandise? Is it behind the couch?
Under the bed?
In the closet?
C'mon! In a one bedroom apartment there aren't THAT many hiding places!
Oh wait... in the bathroom?
In the bathroom closet! Behind the pillows!
This is one happy girl!
I've been waiting my WHOLE life for this moment!
Wow, sooooo cool.
My cute husband made us dinner (kuz the Macbook broke the bank!)... while I played around on the new toy and watched American Idol.
Behold our playing...
And later that day I received a box from MY fam!
Thanks so much!
Now onto bigger things... like having surgery.... Ugh.
Amelia! When did you find out you have to have surgery?? When do you have to have surgery?? Is everything ok??
ReplyDeleteYay! You got your apple! That's quite the surprise!
ReplyDeleteYucky about the surgery...That is definitely not fun. However, at least you have a new toy to keep you occupied while you're recovering! Also-LOVE Willow Tree.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun birthday! I think a Macbook might be the best gift ever. :) Also, when are you having surgery? Before you guys leave for the summer? Let me know if you need anything...a ride, food, etc.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun week - minus the surgery part. Sorry our present to you was so puny. But we love you!!
ReplyDeleteHappy b-day!! I'm glad it was so fun! I hope your surgery went well- wish i could bring you flowers and treats!!

ReplyDeleteAmelia, your posts ALWAYS make me smile. You should become a stand-up comedian. SO sorry about the tumor; ugh. You are so cute to focus on the positive stuff. Keep us updated on the surgery . . . we will definitely keep you in our prayers! Btw, you look super cute for having just got back from teaching dance.
ReplyDeleteYay, Macbook! Yay for celebrating! I'm glad Jon was smart and didn't make you cook! Happy Birthday, friend!
ReplyDeleteyay! Happy Birthday Amelia!!! Your pictures are so cute...what a fun search with a happy ending! Boo that you have to have surgery though...you are amazing and so positive..way to be!

ReplyDeleteHappy happy belated birthday! Thanks for finding my blog :) I know what you mean about finding through a friend of a friend-the blog world is so fascinating that way.
