MY BIRTHDAY!!!

As I wrote before, Jeremy got me a professional camera for my birthday. He gave it to me a week in advance before my birthday so I could play with it and really because he just wanted me to have it early! I didn't stop him either!!

Well, he really outdid himself for this birthday!! On Saturday, August 16th, I woke up to breakfast in bed Chick-Fil-A style. He said he was going to cook me breakfast but didn't want to cook so he did CFA instead, which I was still happy about. Then, he brought in a new black and white subdress, 2 new white dress shirts, and a new brown skirt he'd bought me. He did a REALLy good job because they all fit just fine and they were really cute!! After that, he told me to be ready by a certain time, which was 10:10. After our road trip down to Woodstock, he dropped me off at Beverly's Day Spa and told me that I was having a massage, a manicure and pedicure, a facial, and that I was also having a spa lunch. Jeremy's sister, Tabitha, was there too with a couple of her friends. We had the same ladies for our massage and facials. I was there for 4 hours and my experience there was so amazing!! What a great way to be pampered. But it wasn't over!!

After Jeremy picked me up, we went home and he, again, told me to be ready by a certain time. We got in the car and drove down to downtown Atlanta. We were a little early for his surprise so we drove around Peachtree Street. Well, I've never been on Peachtree Street before and it was definitely an experience. Let's just say, I was scared. It was like I was in a movie. There were people all over the streets, a lot of people playing chess in the park, people selling things on the side of the road, and we even saw a "vet" in a wheelchair. AND we saw this crazy man with a HUGE tyellow boa constrictor (sp?) like the one Britney Spears had at the VMA's. It was definitely an experience. Jeremy thought it was funny that I was a little nervous. I didn't think it was funny. :o)

Eventually we made it to our destination, which was Agatha's. Agatha's is a mystery dinner theatre in downtown Atlanta. It was a HILARIOUS show! It's an interactive dinner theatre where the audience has speaking parts, roles, and some of us even sang. We all sat in this one room, with walls covered in movie star pictures and movie posters, while the 2 actors played out the scenes by walking around the room. They were so so funny!! We saw at Table 7 and were Bar and Bean. I was Bean and Jeremy was Bar. We were part of the singers. We sat across the table from a young couple celebrating 2 years of dating. They were nice but I can't remember their names. They sang Happy Birthday to the birthday people, which of course included me. The food was excellent as well!! We are definitely looking forward to going back soon!!

After the dinner theatre, we can home to pink and white roses and candles that Tabitha had set up for us. It was a really, really sweet birthday! Jeremy really outdid himself. On Sunday, we went to Sheila and Hugh's house after church for a family birthday party! We had steaks and Sheila did it up right with tons of food, as usual. It was really nice and oh so yummy!

Yesterday, on my actual birthday, I did a whole lot of nothing! I woke up to a school bus and dogs barking but just sat around and slowly got ready. I had lunch at a really cool restaurant in an old train station in downtown Woodstock with my friend, Genevieve! I love Genevieve!! She brought my flowers!! Then, after we stuffed our faces full of yummy food and peanut butter pie, I went shopping. Jeremy also gave me $100 to go shopping with. I got a lot of good new clothes with the money he and his family gave me. I'm looking forward to buying new shoes with the money Mama and Deddy gave me!! When Jeremy got home last night, he walked in with a card and 4 HUGE red California sunflowers!!!! Yeah, he did good!! I got a card from Mama and Deddy in the mail of them singing. I loved my card!!! I had been looking forward to them calling and singing Happy Birthday to me with their harmonies so I was excited that I have it permanently on a card!!

Overall, it was a really, really great and special birthday! Last year, it was an engagement. This year, Jeremy really outdid himself. He really knows how to spoil me! I love and appreciate him so much for always making me feel special and like a princess!! I'm so blessed!!

YAY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!! The big 26!! Pictures will be going up soon!!
