Surprise . . .

I'm a big believer in everything happens for a reason, put it out to the universe and it will be returned, karma all that.  A long long time ago I mentioned to my sister that no one in my family had ever attempted a surprise party.  Consider that game on for her and she pulled off a great party for me.  It was small and absolutely perfect!  If you've never played Cards Against Humanity you really should. The more the merrier for inappropriateness, shenanigans and belly laughs.

The world's most awesome cake table

Possibly the highlight of the night was my dad laying on my sister's oversized ottoman playing with Boo's iPad and trying to figure out how to play the Barney app.  He couldn't figure out how to get out of the app either.  Technology is not his forte!  Possibly a dozen High Life's doesn't help :)

Debbie Downer Alert:  I will say that I was very very disappointed in several of my friends.  Some couldn't make it due to prior commitments which I understand.  Another asked my sister to move the party!  I found that quite rude, but considering the source it kinda fit.  Another handful must have forgotten common courtesy's and how to use a phone.  Don't RSVP and then not send regrets when you can't make it.  I'm not Emily Post or Martha Stewart, but I do enjoy their directions on manners and social conduct.  Overall the party turned out great with those that did attend, but not without my sister having a small fit.  To be honest, I don't really blame her.  I'd be pissed if I'd gone through all that trouble, planned for a specific number of guests and then they don't show.  Rude, just rude!

Now it's time to get down to business.  I think this week will take forever because Friday is my 1 yr anniversary with my man!  I'm so excited to reach this milestone, I never ever thought I would get to this place.
