The weekend started out by having dinner with Deals and her husband and Ben and myself. We all met at California Pizza Kitchen for dinner and hung out and talked. Saturday I spent hanging out and watching TV all day, which was nice. Sunday Ben came back from Austin and I had lunch with my Mom. When, I came over she had flowers, and she told me she got them on sale. My response was something along the lines of ok, that's nice. Then we went to lunch and came back and put my left over soup in the fridge and we went for a walk. My mom told me she could only go for a bit and was tired and wanted to take a nap. So, when we came back I went on back to my place and watched some TV and played some Mario for a bit. Then, I texted Ben to see if he was back and he said he was on his way to my place. We went to McDonald's and got some drinks and back to his place. While at his place he showed me his sail boat he had brought back from Austin with him. Then, I watched some show over there and fell asleep for a bit. Then 15 min. later I woke up and watched more of the show. Then I heard Ben upstairs, wondering what on earth he was doing. Then, he came down all dressed nicely. When I asked why he said well I did not want to wear shorts to dinner. I bought that, and he asked if I wanted to go to my place. So, we went over and I decided to change cloths, from my shorts and tee-shirt to something more nice.
Ben and I went to dinner and while at dinner I got a text from my Mom. It said want to come by and get your soup that you left? I was about to text back that I would get it tomorrow, Ben was like what does that say. So I told him and he said sure we can go by. My thinking was well, ok if you want to. So as we waited and waited for the bill, I noticed Ben looking at his phone for the time and then was frustrated by having the hostess charging the wrong amount on his card by about 100 dollars. He ran to the car and drove crazy over to my parents house.
When we arrived there were cars all over, and I thought it was a neighbor's high school kids having a party. So, I told Ben to park in the drive way. As he did I saw my Dad, and dogs in the front. My dad was asking us about dinner and as we walked in my face dropped. There were about 50 people over who all said happy birthday as I walked in. I was stunned, and trying to figure out what was going on for a bit. My Mom did a great job of pulling off the best surprise party, and Ben too. Ben did an amazing job of getting me changed and over there :)

How AMAZING! Great story, and I'm sure it was a FUN party. Happy Happy Birthday, Mandy!!
And then you talked to people and ignored me. Then you saw Kristina and burst into tears. Then you ate a desert boob, and all was right with the world.
The end.
Dealey,
The reason I cried when I saw Kristina, is because when I walked in the door I saw Trevor and you and had not seen her. The end. But I was still totally surprised too and part of it was becasue I was overwhellmed.
Yes, yes. I know. It was still kinda funny, though. The look you gave me when you were talking to someone else was just plain awesome. It was a total: If I wasn't so overwhelmed right now, I'd totally kick your bootie. And I have the picture to prove it! :P
I'm just proud of myself for not letting the cat out of the bag!
