Tim put together an amazing surprise Birthday Party for me after church this past Sunday. \u00a0And boy was I surprised.<\/p>\n

To fully appreciate the story, though, you need to know that Tim had coordinated this whole ordeal starting months ago. \u00a0And even had me tricked into believing that we were going out for a nice dinner after church… AND convinced me that it would be a really good idea to deep clean the house on Saturday (in preparation for the baby coming, was his reasoning). \u00a0So we cleaned and cleaned on Saturday. \u00a0And the house was spic and span by the time we went to bed that night (although I admit I was a bit crabby after a full day of cleaning and feeling huge and moving at a snails pace, but I pushed through).<\/p>\n

So we got up and ready for church and while I was getting ready I had flashbacks of the other surprise party that Tim threw for me years ago. \u00a0I can’t remember the exact year, but I know it was just after we were married and we hadn’t had Chloe yet. \u00a0 But I vividly recall Tim suggesting that we really clean the house. \u00a0I remember it struck me as funny because he’s not normally the one to suggest we deep clean. \u00a0So on the way to church this past Sunday I joked with him about remembering the last surprise party and joking about how he had me cleaning yesterday… ha. ha. ha.<\/p>\n

Well, needless to say, this was my reaction when I walked in the door after church…<\/p>\n

These two ladies spend hours making sure everything was perfect. \u00a0Their attention to detail was just amazing!<\/p>\n

The party was such a huge success. \u00a0I had such a great time hanging out with so many friends and family and eating delicious food. \u00a0It was an amazing birthday!!!<\/p>\n
