So I was told about a month in advance by my dear friend Jen that I should plan on being ready to do “something” around 4 pm on the day of my birthday yet I was not told what something was. Keep in mind that my birthday is December 22 and it being so close to the holidays, any chance of planning a birthday party are out of the question. I had been telling everyone that we would plan something after the first of the year.

The 22nd of December arrives and I still have no idea what is in store for me. I go to work (dressed in relatively comfy clothes as I was told) and am greeted with an amazing assortment of balloons and a wonderful card from my AWESOME OFFICE! Great way to start the day. So fast forward now (as my day at work rocked) to 3:30. Jen arrives and makes me tie my scarf around my head so I cannot see and get in her car. I’M BLINDFOLDED?

This was not part of the plan but I am going along with it. I’m thinking we are going to get a massage.. maybe go on a hike and get dinner? I have no idea!!!

We drive around a bit and since I have no sense of direction with my eyes open I have no idea where we are going. The car stops and all I can smell is tamales. I instantly think we are at Denaios. I am not sure what we would be doing there but I was sure she has a plan. LOL. I hear rustling in the truck of her car and hope to god she is not going to put me in there. A few minutes go by and I am told I can get out. I get out of her car and realize I am at the Fountains in Roseville and in front of me is a HUGE white stretch hummer limo full of a bunch of my friends ready to go ICE SKATING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes… you read that right… ICE SKATING! As a kid I had the best ice skating birthday parties and it was time to do it up again.  I was completely shocked and surprised. I honestly had no idea. I wish I could even put to words how grateful I am for each and every one of my friends. I truly had the best night. Not only did we ice skate and eat pizza but we went on a Christmas light viewing adventure as well. It was a perfect birthday adventure and I am so thankful to have such loving people in my life!!

Happy 29 & 36 months to me!!!!

 Here are just a few of the pics from the night!!

Happy birthday to me!! This was suppose to be a Christmas party, but when I showed up, there was a sign on the door that said Christmas was canceled. I had a feeling something was up… I opened my friend’s door to find the next sign that read “Merry Meghan-mas”.  Surprise…. it was my birthday party!!!! Not only did my friends surprise me with a super rad Merry Meghan-mas birthday party they got me an ice cream cake….my FAVORITE!!!!! I became a little preoccupied with telling John (camera man) that it was too loud to shoot me telling the camera how awesome my cake was that…. well…. you’ll see…. (Oh…it went up my nose…not fun!)…and yes…I forgot the ‘e’ on bite…oh well! LOL
