Adams Family: April 2009

This year's birthday was filled with surprises. I actually celebrated my birthday the whole week. Monday night I came home to a decorated house. Trevor had let Shareen came over and decorated while I was still in Olympia. She put balloons and streamers everywhere, and each time I looked in the mirror pink lipstick reminded me I was turning 30 years old. Tuesday, Shareen and Holly threw me a surprise party at preschool. They brought in cake, ice cream, games and treat bags. Wednesday, the ladies from playgroup took me out to Sweet Tomato for lunch. That night Shareen made me pizza and cake. Thursday the primary presidency had a lunch together in my honor.

I have to add that Trevor this whole time was putting on this I didn't do much for your birthday, and our Utah trip was your present act.

Friday Trevor called me after our primary activity and told me to pick up our babysitter. He felt so bad about not doing much for my birthday that he wanted to take me out for dinner. When I got home he asked me where I wanted to go. I told him Outback so away we went. In the car he mentioned a Hawaiian restaurant we hadn't been to in a long time. I started thinking about that restaurant. When he mentioned the coconut ice cream I decided I wanted to go to Patricks Hawaiian Grill, just as we passed the exit for Outback. When we got there I was surprised by how full the place was. There was a long table of guests right in front of us. I thought it must be a wedding dinner or something. I started looking around for empty seats. All of sudden the group yelled surprise. Trevor had set the whole thing up. Fourteen of my good friends were all there to share my birthday dinner. Trevor had arranged the whole thing with the restaurant owner. Trevor had menus emailed to everyone earlier in the week and had all the orders ready and paid for. WHAT A GREAT SURPRISE! I don't think I've ever been that surprised in my life. What a fun husband I have. Needless to say the evening was a hit.
