#35
My best friend turned 35 this last week. Everyone should know that Beth is about as family as it gets {friend wise}. She's my Best Friend {no I don't feel I'm too old to have a bestie}. She's goes through everything with me. I am so grateful to have a really great friend who supports me and is there for me. I value our friendship so much- also because she's the first true friend I've had in my sober life. For the longest time I said "no" to the whole friend thing because I was scared of friending someone from the same crowd I used to hang with. Now I know I'm alright! She means the world to me.
O.K. enough sappiness.
The surprise was killer and perfectly planned.
As much as I hate saying this...going behind her back and setting this up with her hubs was fun.
The secret week of planning...
My Secret trips to JoAnne Fabrics
Baking a cake with American Butter Cream Frosting {my first making this delicious frosting!!}
The getting her phone and calling all her friends {her hubs did this}
Lying to her and telling her I couldn't attend dinner cause I was going on a date with Kale
Showing up at Cancun in the nick-of-time
Sitting at dinner tables with about 25 other people - my camera ready to shoot at any moment
Yes It Was Worth It!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH!! SURPRISE #1:
{ Dinner at Cancun }
She REALLY had no idea!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH:: SURPRISE #2:
We got her really good the second time. This surprise was planned for a month at least.
Talking to her hubs behind her back
Figuring out ways to get her to let him leave {without being shocked to WHY he had to go to work on his day off}
Setting up a plan to meet at the jewelry store at a certain time
Our other friend Ashley wouldn't even talk to her in fear of spilling the BEANS
Me figuring out a way to have her meet me at a location
Lying...some more...
Oh the list was endless....
But we pulled it off. I pretended to not be able to drive after taking medication. I called her to ask her to come get me and take me home. Of course she was lounging around the house in a t-shirt and shorts. No make-up. Hair in a pony. It was priceless!
She pulled through as a great friend would. Came to my rescue. She met me within 20 minutes!
When she pulled up {where we planned this whole thing} at Starbucks parking lot - I played it cool. Wondered the ENTIRE time how long I had to stall. Then out of nowhere comes her hubby and our two great friends Ashley and Simon. We all pulled out Pandora bags.
At first I thought oh my she's going to cry. Then she looked really MAD. Then she settled down and couldn't talk. Then looked mad again.
I thought we better run. Beth's going to kill us! I quickly apologized for lying to her!!!
Then the surprises came.
The photo I took as evidence!!! It was ALL Ashley and Simon!!!
This was a great Birthday for a dear friend. Her friendship means so much more than any jewelry BUT this was just the icing on the cake.
HAPPY 35TH TO THE BEST FRIEND A GIRL COULD HAVE!
